$600,000 Settlement for Workplace Injury from Falling Countertop

$600,000 settlement for a 45-year-old Bronx employee of a building supply company who was injured while moving a pallet of formica counter tops which collapsed on him, shattering his ankle and requiring the installation of a plate in his leg. We sued the manufacturer of the countertops as well as the trucking company that transported the countertops. Our expert in industrial packaging and design opined that the countertops were not properly secured with pallet wrap and banding. We also argued that the trucking company was ultimately responsible under the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Act for insuring the safety and security of the load.
