Contractor receives $2.7M payment after injury By JONATHAN BANDLER, White Plains Journal News, NY
A roofer who suffered a serious ankle injury when he fell 15 feet off a scaffold during the construction of a salt barn at the Mount Pleasant highway garage has won a $2.7 million verdict against the town and the general contractor.
A jury in state Supreme Court in White Plains awarded that amount to Peter Wallace, 58, and his wife last week after a judge found the town and Stonehenge Group had violated state labor law in failing to provide adequate safety precautions at the work site, Wallace's lawyer said.------------------------------------------- posted 1:06 PM :: reference link ::
