Ben Ford reached a settlement for a roofer who fell three stories from a roof of a building under construction outside Anniston. He was wearing a safety harness attached to a lifeline when he fell. At the peak of the steeply sloped roof, his lifeline had been attached to a Spider clamp, which is a fall protection anchor with a large pin held in place by a smaller hairpin-style pin. The smaller pin came out. This allowed the larger pin to come free and release the lifelines.
Ben sued the manufacturer and distributer of the Spider roof clamp for defective design. Our client sustained multiple injuries in the fall, with the worst being fractures in the pelvic area. He also developed post-concussive syndrome from a concussion suffered in the fall.
