Case Summary
A 30-year-old sub-contractor was struck by a metal bar at the top of a chain link fence during his coffee break. He was pushed forward towards the ground and sustained serious injuries. Our client was diagnosed with traumatic brain injury and had gone through several spine surgeries. After various attempts by the defense to mitigate the poor working conditions of the site, it was found that the protective barriers were indeed unstable. After attempting to settle under a million dollars, the opposing side had no choice but to compensate our client deservedly.
