$4,000,000 Settlement – Hospital Roof Construction Accident Premises Liability Fall

A 20-year-old window washer who suffered extensive injuries, including a below-the-knee amputation of his left leg, after falling 30 feet from a hospital roof where he was working in 2002, received a settlement. As part of the settlement, the window washer’s employer waived $500,000 of its workers’ compensation lien and agreed to fund the Plaintiff’s future medical expenses, which will exceed $1 million, increasing the settlement value to more than $4 million.
