HKD, Senior Trial Attorney, Jordan Hecht, obtained a massive $20,000,000.00 settlement on the eve of trial, for a construction worker who was injured after being struck by a falling beam. The client suffered fractures in his neck that required multiple surgeries, a fractured jaw and a traumatic brain injury.
HKD won summary judgment on the issue of liability against the owner and general contractor under the New York State Labor Law and the case was set to proceed solely on the issue of damages.
