Morgan Levine Dolan, P.C.

This Fall our firm negotiated a $4,500,000 settlement on behalf of a union carpenter who was injured when he and his co-workers were attempting to maneuver the first of a series of 12-foot long, 500-pound, steel I-beams into a service elevator, and the beam fell onto his shoulder. The building owner and general contractor at the construction site had failed to provide the workers with the proper equipment, such as a crane, a boom or an exterior hoist, to lower the beams from... the top floor of the building to the street 18 floors below. Our client’s lower back buckled during the incident, and he was taken by ambulance to Beth Israel Medical Center, beginning a course of treatment that included neurologic care, physiatric care, pain management and ultimately surgery. As a result of injuries, he was unable to continue his employment as a construction worker. This settlement will provide this then 27-year-old single father, who is raising two young children on his own, with compensation for the pain and suffering caused by this incident, and financial security for his family.

Earlier this week the attorneys at MLD were able to resolve another construction accident case.

He didn’t go to the hospital and didn’t initially feel pain in his neck, but after three weeks went to his doctor with a sore neck. 6 months later he needed surgery to repair an injured disc in his neck. Three years later were able to recover $1,925,000 for his pain and suffering and early retirement from the union.

Big wins for our construction worker clients!!!!
