1. $5,000,000 — $5,000,000 We represented a man who was working as a security guard at a retail outlet that was undergoing an alteration, which included the installation of a "Salon Wall" that was to be used to display merchandise. The "Salon Wall" was delivered to the alteration site in two component wall sections, one of which was unpacked and positioned standing upright but unsecured against a wall. While workers were unpacking the other section, the unsecured component toppled over, striking our client and rendering him unconscious. He sustained a traumatic brain injury causing a cognitive disorder...
2. $4,630,000 — $4,630,000 We represented a woman who was involved in a building collapse in Manhattan. Our client was waiting at a bus stop at an intersection when the wall of a nearby two-story building collapsed into the intersection, leaving her buried under a pile of debris. She was rescued from underneath the rubble and spent a total of four weeks in two hospitals. As a result of the physical harm and the conditions she was subjected to while trapped under the debris, she developed post-traumatic stress disorder and dementia. The settlement from two defendants, reached a week before jury selection,...
3. $4,500,000 — $4,500,000 Our client, a carpenter/laborer, was working on the excavation phase of a construction project in Manhattan. He was setting up the placement of concrete forms for the foundation of a new residential apartment complex. Due to the force and vibrations of nearby excavation equipment, a section of rock the size of a small car became dislodged, slid down, and rolled onto our client's right foot, crushing it. He later developed necrosis because of the injury.
4. $3,175,000 — $3,175,000 Working on a building renovation in the Bronx, New York, our client was instructed to use a power motorized machine on one of the tree stumps embedded in the concrete of the property. His employer set up an extension ladder beside a 25-foot drop on the far side of the retaining wall and failed to secure it in any way. The mechanical force of the motorized machinery caused the ladder to shift, knocking him off. He fell 22 feet to the ground and suffered fractures to his right hip, right elbow, and right wrist.
5. $2,500,000 — $2,500,000 Our client was a union construction carpenter reporting to work at a construction project on the morning of his accident. As part of this project, workers were directed to walk and perform tasks on wooden planking assembled across elevated steel beams. While crossing one of these planks, the wood suddenly broke and collapsed beneath him, causing a fall to the level below. He sustained a left shoulder fracture that required surgery. Attorney Pat James Crispi pursued the case and held the responsible parties accountable for failing to provide a safe and secure elevated work platform.
6. $2,250,000 — $2,250,000 Our client was attempting to climb from a two-point suspended scaffold platform over the top of a parapet wall approximately 7-8 feet above the scaffold platform to gain access to the roof of the building under renovation. During this attempted climb, our client's legs became tangled within the safety line attached to his harness, and the force of gravity caused him to become toppled and suspended between the scaffold and the top of the parapet wall against the exterior of the building. He sustained injuries to both knees, including a left knee injury that required ACL...
7. $2,200,000 — $2,200,000 Our client was a customer in a convenience store in Manhattan who fell into an opening in the floor created by an open trap door. A convenience store employee had previously opened the trap door to allow a utility worker access to the basement, but failed to close the trap door after the utility worker exited the premises, thereby creating a dangerous condition for the public. As a result, our client sustained severe and painful injuries to the left lower extremity.
8. $2,200,000 — $2,200,000 While working as a construction helper on a building renovation in NYC at Riverside Drive, our client was instructed to follow the lead of permanent full-time employees and access a sidewalk bridge by climbing unstable scaffold cross braces. While following these directions, our client slipped and fell, suffering a calcaneal (heel) fracture and a medial meniscus tear in the left knee. A lawsuit was filed against the building owner and general contractor.
9. $1,600,000 — $1,600,000 Our client was standing on a scaffold repairing a section of the concrete floor on the second level of a building in Brooklyn when he was struck by sections of the concrete second floor that collapsed and fell onto him. Following the impact, he was knocked off the scaffold and fell six to eight feet to the floor below. He sustained significant head injuries including a skull fracture, intracranial hemorrhage, and traumatic brain injury. We were able to secure a settlement, split between the building owner and operator.
10. $1,400,000 — $1,400,000 Our client was employed at a renovation of the exterior facade of a Manhattan hotel. At approximately 90 feet above the ground, he was standing on pipe scaffolding and filling in mortar joints when he fell to his death onto the sidewalk-shed deck below. An investigator from the New York City Department of Buildings wrote that there was a hazardous condition of loose planks on scaffolding prior to the victim's death. We held four defendants accountable for violations of New York Labor Law 240(1) and five separate sections of the New York State Industrial Code. Pat James Crispi...
