Our client, a 52-year-old male was working on a roof in Upstate New York, near the Massachusetts border when he fell and was seriously injured. The owner and general contractor failed to provide the required safety devices that would have prevented the fall. He suffered numerous serious injuries, including broken ribs, fractures in both legs, a broken back that required 3 fused vertebraes, a broken left heel, and a splintered tail bone in which pieces entered his spinal canal and had to be vacuumed out. After an extended hospital stay he was transferred to a nursing home, and later had to undergo additional surgeries. Our client suffered continued pain and was unable to lift or carry anything of substance. Attorneys Elizabeth Wolff and Kenneth Fromson were able to settle the case prior to trial for $1 million dollars, the full insurance amount available.
