Roofer Receives $1,000,000 Policy Settlement

While on only his third day at work, our client was putting on a metal roof on a barn when the wet roof caused him to slip. His employer failed to provide any tie-offs or scaffolding as required by the labor law. On commercial properties, the owner of the property is also required to make sure all safety devices are used during construction. We commenced a lawsuit against the property owner. The call caused our client to suffer a broken arm and “burst” vertebrae in his low back. The case was settled prior to trial for the full $1,000,000 of available insurance. The case was handled by trial partner Kenneth Fromson.
