Goldberg Weisman Cairo Obtains $1.5 Million Settlement for Injured Ironworker

GWC partner, Michael D. Fisher, settles case for injured Ironworker for $1,500,000.00.

2013-05-31

CHICAGO, IL, May 31, 2013 (Press-News.org) Goldberg Weisman Cairo partner, Michael D. Fisher, settles case for injured Ironworker for $1,500,000.00.

On September 17, 2007, Robert Rodriguez, a 54-year old union ironworker fell 18 feet off a steel beam after unhooking his lanyard from a perimeter safety cable to retrieve a tool. Mr. Fisher was able to prove that the general contractor, Smithfield Construction Company and the steel fabricator, Ozark Steel Fabricators, Inc., were in overall charge of the construction project and responsible for safety of the ironworkers on the project. Mr. Fisher established that both the general contractor and steel fabricator failed to erect and provide suitable anchor points in the interior portion of the building so that ironworkers, like Mr. Rodriguez, would have a safe place to "tie off" while moving about the structure.

The workers' compensation insurance carrier also agreed to waive reimbursement by Mr. Rodriguez of $299,812.00 of its $474,812.00 lien.

For over thirty years, the cases brought by Goldberg Weisman Cairo, on behalf of injured workers have improved the safety of conditions that the men and women of labor work under while on the job.

GWC has obtained record verdicts and settlements throughout the state of Illinois. GWC is a Chicago-based firm of trial lawyers that represent injured people in many different kinds of cases. For further information, call Michael D. Fisher directly at (312) 245-2107.
