$450,000 Settlement for Construction Site Fall

$450,000 settlement at mediation for a Labor Law 240(1) case, wherein our 68-year-old client, an electrical contractor in Queens, fell over scattered debris and construction materials that he couldn’t see due to poor lighting. The plaintiff sustained a lateral meniscal tear at his right knee and underwent a right knee arthroscopy to repair a torn medial meniscus and was unable to return to work.
