Construction Site At College Unsafe – College Settles For $235,000

While expanding a college campus, the college failed to provide a safe place to work for a union ironworker. The ironworker fell 15 feet and broke his wrist. The fracture required a pin be placed in the bone to help the healing. Once the bone fully healed the pin was removed. As we were about to request a trial date, the insurance company agreed to pay $235,000. The case was handled by Partner Elyssa Fried De-Rosa and Managing Partner Andrew Finkelstein.
