Settlement for family of iron worker killed in construction site fall

SUGARMAN’s attorneys were able to obtain a settlement during discovery in a case involving the tragic death of an iron worker. Due to inadequate fall protection at a construction site in Boston, the worker, who was only 30 years old, fell several stories to his death in an unguarded stairwell. After SUGARMAN’s attorney conducted several depositions establishing the defendants’ negligence and failure to oversee the construction being performed by the worker’s employer, the defendants and their insurers initiated settlement discussions. The worker was survived by his wife and two young children.
