New York Construction Accident Lawyer Adnan Munawar Issues a Statement After Chinese Immigrant Construction Worker Receives $62 Million Jury Award

NEW YORK, Dec. 29, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Justice was finally received by Zeng Guang Lin, the Chinese Immigrant construction worker who was injured in an accident in 2008, The New York Daily News is reporting. (Chinese Immigrant Wins $62M payout for Queens Construction Accident that Left Him Brain Damaged, December 18, 2014). Mr. Lin was working for Hutch Realty in 2008 when he fell 20 feet off a roof. He was not provided a safety harness at the time. The accident left Mr. Lin brain-damaged. A Queens jury awarded Mr. Lin a total of $62 million--$42 million for future pain and suffering; $20 million for past. Hutch Realty did not make a comment.

"What this case shows is what can happen if people persevere and demand they receive justice," said Adnan Munawar, Partner at Munawar & Andrews-Santillo LLP. "This should also serve as a reminder to construction companies of just how serious the consequences will be if they fail to fulfill their safety responsibilities towards their workers. Construction sites are some of the most dangerous work places there are, and without proper safety protocols and measures, you are placing your employees in grave danger. The young man should have been provided a safety harness and was not—it may have taken six years, but the jury award should be an ominous warning to any employer who is considering shirking his or her responsibilities."

"Perhaps the trickiest aspect of construction accident cases is that there can be multiple parties responsible for one person's injury. Whether it was the manufacturer of equipment, the builder who put up a platform, or a failure to provide basic safety gear, knowing who to file a claim against is essential. Often times proving causation can require the assistance of experts, and the right attorney will know how to utilize these experts to hold the right parties responsible. Anyone who is injured at a construction site should seriously consider calling an attorney and finding out how to proceed. Going at it alone can be overwhelming, and the defendants will almost certainly be represented, so doing so would place victims at a nearly insurmountable disadvantage. Consulting with a personal injury attorney is free, and you only ever pay a fee if you win, so access to a personal injury lawyer is possible for anyone."
