$762

$762K settlement for an NYC Firefighter who suffered a serious back injury requiring a microdiscectomy. He was injured when he fell on a smoke-filled stairwell with no visibility. As he was ascending this stairwell with the intent of gaining entry to the apartment where the fire originated, he fell injuring his back. The cause of the fire was a plumber having “sweated” a pipe in the wall of an apartment undergoing renovations with a blow torch. Hot embers fell in the wall space ultimately resulting in a fire several hours later. The case settled for $762,000.00.
