• $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. · Keogh Crispi, P.C.
• $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. · Keogh Crispi, P.C.

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.

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... · Keogh Crispi, P.C.
