Construction Worker Workplace Injury Settlement

Jeff Rickard settled a case on behalf of a hard-working young man who was seriously injured on-the-job. At 23 years old, our client has already had two serious back surgeries as a result of the fall and suffers from persistent back pain. He will not be able to return to heavy manual labor. Our client was dismantling scaffolds for use at an electric generating plant when he fell approximately 20 feet through an unguarded and unmarked opening in the floor. The floor opening was created by a sub-contractor on the project in violation of numerous industry safety standards including OSHA.
