The New York personal injury attorneys at Block O’Toole & Murphy have successfully recovered a jury verdict of over $4,000,000 on behalf of their client in a lawsuit against the New York City Transit Authority. The plaintiff in this case was represented by S. Joseph Donahue and Kareem Vessup of Block O’Toole & Murphy, a New York City personal injury law firm.
Mr. Donahue and Mr. Vessup represented the plaintiff in a personal injury lawsuit arising from an accident that occurred while he was working as a lead inspector at the 170th Street Station – Jerome Avenue line – in the Bronx. As the plaintiff walked along temporary flooring on the mezzanine level, a panel gave way and he fell, striking his back and buttocks on a steel support beam. He immediately experienced low back pain with radicular pain into both of his legs.
Although the plaintiff had experienced back problems prior to this incident, the fall he sustained exacerbated his previous conditions and necessitated a lumbar decompression surgery and a lateral interbody lumbar fusion at L4-5. While these treatments have resulted in considerable improvement, the plaintiff is still unable to work and experiences pain with any activity. The case went to trial and the jury returned a verdict of $4,011,000 in favor of the plaintiff. For more information about this case, please visit http://www.blockotoole.com/news_view.asp?id=169.
