Our client, a New York City police detective and father of two children, suffered injuries to his back while responding to a crane collapse as part of the emergency response unit. His role was to rescue workers by removing debris and other materials inside a ten-foot hole. Our client underwent surgery and the following procedures: spinal instrumentation; spinal fusion; lumbar laminectomy; and bone graft. Our personal injury attorneys were able to settle the case for $3 million for our client and his family.
