In a construction mishap during a renovation project in Westchester County, our client, a 46-year-old carpenter affiliated with a union, faced an unfortunate accident.

While collaborating with a colleague to assemble a scaffold, a plank on the scaffold’s platform gave way, causing our client to fall approximately 5-6 feet. He landed on a cement floor, sustaining injuries to both feet.

The lawsuit filed highlighted violations of New York State Labor Law, particularly Labor Law §240(1), which safeguards workers against height-related risks. Our client endured comminuted fractures, (a bone that is broken in at least 3 places), in both heels, necessitating surgical intervention to address the injuries
