FALL FROM LADDER RESULTS IN $275,000

A New York City acoustical ceiling painter, 37 years of age, was on a A-frame ladder when he lost his balance, fell to the ground and fractured his dominant wrist. A few days after the incident, our client went to the hospital for testing which indicated a wrist fracture. As a result, the client underwent surgery to repair the fracture. The client wore a cast for 4 months after which he underwent several weeks of physical therapy. Consequently, the client was out of work for 14 months prior to returning to his employment. SILER & INGBER, LLP, commenced an action in Supreme Court, County of New York, against the owner of the building and the general contractor. The case settled during trial for $275,000.
