SHOULDER SURGERY AS A RESULT OF A CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENT RESOLVES FOR $250,000

Our client was a 32 year-old male who was working at a construction site in Brooklyn, New York.  At his work site there was a large, deep hole which was covered and hidden by pieces of plywood.  Unbeknownst to our client, the plywood that was covering the hole had been arranged in a negligent and unsecure fashion.  There were neither ropes nor netting on or about the hole to prevent injuries in the case of an accident. 

Our client stepped off of the ladder that he was working on and onto the plywood where the wood pieces then slipped out from under him, causing our client to fall at least 10 feet into the hole.  He sustained several injuries to his neck, back, shoulders and ankles.  Our client had MRI’s on his shoulder and spine.  Soon after, our client underwent surgery on his right shoulder. Due to his extensive injuries, our client missed six months of work.  On the eve of trial, Ronald Ingber obtained a settlement offer of $250,000.
