The plaintiff, a laborer, fell approximately 10 feet to the ground when the scaffold he was working on suddenly moved and shook. The plaintiff sustained serious injuries to his neck and shoulder, requiring cervical spine surgery as well as shoulder surgery. In addition, the plaintiff was unable to return to work. Ultimately, HKD partner Judd F. Kleeger resolved the case prior to trial for $3,000,000.
