Keches Law Group secured a $2 million recovery on behalf of a 34-year-old union carpenter who suffered a devastating construction site injury after being struck by falling debris on two separate occasions while working inside a mechanical shaft.
The carpenter was first injured when a large wooden plank fell from several floors above and struck his left arm. Despite reporting the incident and returning to light-duty work, he was struck a second time by another falling board just weeks later. Medical evaluation revealed a serious ulnar nerve injury, which was later confirmed through diagnostic testing.The case alleged that the general contractor and subcontractors responsible for the worksite failed to protect workers from known falling debris hazards despite prior reports of similar near-miss incidents. The plaintiff further contended that the responsible parties failed to properly investigate the incidents and enforce critical workplace safety protocols designed to prevent construction accidents.
As a result of his injuries, the worker qualified for permanent total disability benefits and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). This recovery helps provide financial security for the injured carpenter and his family after a life-changing workplace accident.
