$575,000

$575,000 Recovery was obtained from a general contractor and premises owner for an action involving a 58-year-old electrician who fell from a ladder which did not have proper safety features, fracturing his non-dominant wrist. As a result of the injury, the client was forced to retire early. The settlement came prior to all depositions, shortly after the plaintiff was successful in transferring the case from Westchester County to Bronx County.
