$375,000 Settlement – Work Injury

While working as an elevator mechanic helper, our client was instructed by the elevator mechanic to go into the pit below the elevator to stop the counterweight of the elevator door – All without first making sure the counterweight was secured. The counterweight fell and struck our client in the right arm causing a mid-shaft radius fracture which required surgery. He was left with reduced range of motion of his arm, pain with its use, and lifting restrictions.
