CLIENT FALLS IN TRAP DOOR AND RECEIVES $95,000 FOR A TORN MENISCUS

Our client was a 37 year-old male who was attending his appointment at a hair salon.  While at the salon, our client walked towards the back of the facility to use the restroom.  The back area of the salon was unlit and very dark.  Because of the poor lighting, our client was unable to see that there was an open trap door leading to the basement.  Additionally, there were no warning signs or cones to indicate that the trap door was left open in order to prevent an accident from occurring. 

Our client fell, suddenly, through the trap door and landed with his knees and chest onto the hard, concrete basement floor.  Our client bled from his injuries and had substantial pain to his knee.  Our client suffered a knee tear, however, after extensive physical therapy he was able to avoid surgery.  Our attorney Steve Levy of SILER & INGBER, LLP was able to reach a settlement agreement for $95,000 to compensate our client for his injuries.

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.

LASER HAIR REMOVAL LAWSUIT NETS AWARD OF $75,000

Our client was a 42 year-old female who decided to undergo laser hair removal treatments.  These procedures can be very dangerous and produce burns on patients if they are not performed by a doctor who has the proper credentials.  The owner of this particular facility did not even know if she was licensed to do business in New York.  There were no written warnings detailing the possibility of laser burns.  Our client received her treatment from a technician, not a doctor as required.  The technician had previously burned someone during one of these procedures.  The technician failed to perform any spot tests on our client and even used the incorrect machine to complete the procedure. 

The technician then proceeded to burn our client in over twenty different spots on both her face and neck.  Our client not only had second degree burns, but also had open blisters and swelling on her face and neck. Afterwards, our client had visible scarring.  Our firm worked diligently on our client’s behalf to obtain a settlement for her injuries due to the negligence of the facility and the technician.  Our attorney Ronald Ingber was able to obtain a settlement for our client for $75,000.
