Local 11 Roofer Recovers $2 Million
After falling through a hole in a roof causing multiple fractures to both wrists (requiring surgical placement of pins and screws), a local 11 roofer lost his career due to the restrictions caused by his injuries. The incident happened on October 21, 2002 at 333 W. Grant in Bensenville, Illinois (Dupage county).
Horwitz attorneys demonstrated, that the Defendant’s use of inferior materials to cover the hole was the sole cause of the roofer’s career ending injury.
Defendants, International Contractors and Admiral Heating claimed that the union roofer was on a part of the roof that he was not supposed to be on, and further charged that the plaintiff was intoxicated at the time of the accident.
Plaintiff's counsel, Horwitz, Horwitz & Associates, Ltd., proved that neither claims was accurate.
In addition to conducting extensive video surveillance of the Plaintiff after the accident, the Defendants also claimed that the roofer didn't make a diligent effort to find a job to replace his union earnings.
