Published recovery result
$800,000
$800,000 for the family of a 53 year old billboard worker who died instantly after falling from a catwalk. Although the defendants argued that the victim's family should be entitled to no more than Workers' Compensation Benefits, we successfully argued that his actions were covered under the New York State Labor Laws.
