A construction worker was seriously injured when he fell from a scaffold that lacked a guardrail. The owner of the property and general contractor were found by the court to be responsible for the worker’s injuries for violating New York State’s Labor Law. The worker was unable to return to work, suffered broken bones and a head injury, and incurred costly medical bills. $2,200,000.00 was obtained to compensate him for his injuries, lost wages, and medical bills.
