Construction Accident Verdict

Cellino & Barnes - Trial Attorneys Dylan Brennan & Gregory Pajak

A 31-year-old construction worker was injured when he fell 19 feet from a ladder, while working at a construction site.

Although our client had a history of spinal and knee injuries, this accident caused him to undergo surgery.

Prior to going to trial, the offer to settle never exceeded $60,000. Cellino & Barnes attorneys proceeded to trial, where a jury awarded our client $1.167 Million.

"Taking a case to trial can often prove beneficial to our clients as it did in this case," stated Ross Cellino. "Dylan Brennan and Greg Pajak have proven the importance of hiring experienced trial attorneys to represent you in your case."

Insurance companies will pay 47-year-old Richard Hunt of Cattaraugus $1.675 million for permanent injuries he suffered in a New York construction accident. Mr. Hunt fell on ice while walking on an unlit walkway at a construction site. The conditions of the walkway were previously mentioned to management, but were ignored.

The settlement offer of just under $1.7 million is a clear indication of Mr. Hunt's injuries and of the defendants' wrong doing for allowing unsafe working conditions.

As a result of this construction accident, Mr. Hunt suffered career-ending spinal injuries and will undergo continued medical treatment over the course of his lifetime.
