The plaintiff was working on a school construction project when he fell from the mechanical manlift he was working on in the school's auditorium. The plaintiff sustained multiple injuries, including a compound fracture of the left ankle, a fractured talus of the right ankle, and fractured vertebrae. Multiple surgeries were required, and the plaintiff sustained septic necrosis and psychiatric residuals.
The defendant refused to settle, and the case went to verdict, with the jury awarding substantial damages. The case ultimately settled with interest for $5.6 million.
