Jose* was a construction worker. He was married and had three young children. One day, at work, while walking along the outer walkway on the 13th floor of a high-rise project, he fell through a plywood bridge and fell to his death. Through our investigation and work we proved that the company responsible for maintaining the walkway failed to insure that the appropriate safety devices were in place to support the plywood bridge. We were able to show that Jose fell through what amounted to a concealed trapdoor. We overcame defense arguments of lack of notice, comparative negligence, negligence of a non-party defendant (Fabre), lack of liability, and workers’ compensation immunity. The recovery for the family totaled $3.9 million. The court-appointed guardian ad litem in the case wrote in his report, “I feel the settlement is an excellent one and the attorneys for the estate should be commended for achieving such an outstanding result.” *Names have been changed to protect the privacy of our client.
