$900,000

$900,000 Our client, a construction worker, fell from a defective ladder while performing work covered under New York Labor Law. The insurer initially attempted to disclaim coverage due to perceived late notice of the accident and injuries, which was provided approximately one year post-accident. After filing suit, we effectively argued for and obtained a declaratory judgment confirming coverage of the accident. At a pre-trial settlement conference, we presented evidence of our client's significant injuries and negotiated a substantial recovery on their behalf.
