Carpenter permanently disabled from work after construction site accident

Settlement for construction worker who tripped and fell on a dangerous condition at a construction project in Boston. The defendant general contractor at the jobsite failed to identify, mark and/or remove a tripping hazard left behind during the demolition phase of the project. The plaintiff was working as a carpenter and was caused to trip and fall over the hazard, resulting in bilateral rotator cuff tears that required surgical repair. Due to complications from his injuries and surgeries, the plaintiff was unable to return to his job as a union carpenter. SUGARMAN attorneys were able to obtain a favorable settlement of the case after mediation and just prior to trial.
