$3,100,000 settlement – construction site death

Construction sites can be very dangerous places.  What happens when a construction worker falls from a height while working?  Catastrophic outcomes, that’s what happens.

Our clients’ sons were killed when an engineering miscalculation caused a catastrophic equipment failure.  The failure caused a fall resulting in death.  Though the defendant denied the claim, through litigation Leighton Panoff Law’s John Leighton and Max Panoff proved that the engineering mistake was the source of the loss.  The case was settled confidentially prior to trial for $3,100,000, providing our clients some measure of compensation for their loss.
