Labor Law Construction Site Injury: Plaintiff Pinned To Ground by Large Concrete Slap Which Fell From Back Loader Resulting in Pelvic Fracture: Settles in The Mid-Six Figure Amount. Parties And Amount Confidential Pursuant To Confidentiality Agreement.

On October 8, 2019, while working on a construction site, our client sustained serious injuries when a 700-pound boulder unexpectedly fell onto him. The impact forced the plaintiff’s spine and pelvis into a fetal position. The boulder remained on top of him for approximately 20 seconds before it was removed by a group of about 10 individuals. Emergency responders found him lying supine in the ditch, surrounded by firefighters. Fortunately, he did not suffer head trauma or lose consciousness, the physical impact was severe and resulting damages to his lower spine and pelvis. The injury reflects a clear lapse in basic safety protocols, putting workers at unnecessary risk. This case settled in the mid six figure range.
