$20,000,000
Our client, a construction worker in the Bronx, was working in an excavation trench, when a hole collapsed on him due to improper shoring. At the time, he was using a chainsaw and suffered severe lacerations to his face and chest, along with injuries to his back, neck, and shoulders from falling debris.
After a jury trial that lasted three weeks, our construction accident attorneys conclusively proved that his employer was legally liable for his injuries. The jury awarded our client $20 million for pain and suffering, lost income, and medical expenses.
$8,000,000
In a lengthy trial in Suffolk County, a suburban county of New York City, the issue for the jury was the amount of damages suffered by Lipsig Law’s client, a construction worker, due to a fall from defective scaffolding several years earlier. Alan Shapey had to prove to the jury that the client’s injury, a lumbar disc herniation that required surgery more than 3 years later, was caused by the fall.
Alan Shapey presented testimony from treating physicians, including an orthopedic surgeon, a radiologist, and a spinal surgeon, as well as an economist. Jurors in Suffolk County returned a verdict of over $6,000,000 for our Lipsig Law client.
When statutory interest is added to the verdict, the total amount recovered by Lipsig Law’s client will be over $8,000,000. Adding to the difficulty of this trial was the fact that investigators had taken 14 hours of video surveillance of our client and these videos were played to the jury by the defense attorneys.
