Posted on Aug 27, 2010
Recently, a New Jersey jury awarded nearly $19 million to three different construction workers that suffered severe worksite-related injuries when the scaffolding that was perched above them collapsed, causing one plaintiff to sustain comminuted fractures of his right leg that required 3 corrective surgeries, a second plaintiff to sustain fractures to his jaw, eye sockets and nose, as well as herniated discs in his lower back, and a crush injury to his foot, and the third plaintiff to fracture several vertebrae in his back, as well as fractures to the right ankle and leg.
