$750,000 Settlement : Forklift Operator Recovers

The event happened at a warehouse in Brooklyn. Our client was driving a forklift and loading the last two pallets onto a trailer. Without checking if the loading was complete, the truck driver pulled away from the dock causing our client to fall six feet to the ground. Our 57-year-old client aggravated an old low back injury that, because of this fall, required a fusion of two of his vertebrate. We brought a lawsuit to the Federal Court. The trucking company’s insurance company agreed to settle the case for $750,000. The case was handled by two partners, Melody Gregory and Ken Fromson.
