I was working a construction job near 4th Avenue and 36th Street in Sunset Park, not far from Industry City, when I fell through an unsecured scaffold plank. I landed on my side, instantly feeling a sharp pain shoot through my back and down my leg. I was rushed to NYU Langone Hospital–Brooklyn, where doctors confirmed I had a herniated disc and a torn rotator cuff. Surgery was recommended, and suddenly I was staring at months of recovery and no income.
Morgan and his team didn’t waste any time. They pulled OSHA safety reports for the construction site, got incident witness statements from two of my coworkers near Greenwood Heights, and gathered all my medical records from Maimonides Medical Center and SUNY Downstate. When the workers comp carrier tried to deny treatment, saying I had a “pre-existing” back issue, Morgan brought in a spinal specialist from Kings County Hospital who proved it was a direct result of the fall.
They filed everything properly with the New York Workers’ Compensation Board, and when the employer tried to lowball me, Morgan filed a formal claim through Kings County Supreme Court. His understanding of how construction injuries are treated under New York Labor Law Section 240 made a massive difference in the outcome.
The final settlement covered my surgeries, physical therapy in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, pain management treatments in East Flatbush, and full compensation for the wages I lost during the months I couldn’t work. I’m back on my feet now, with restrictions, but stable and and it’s thanks to Brooklyn Injury Attorney.
If you work in Flatbush, Crown Heights, Brownsville, or Bushwick, and you’ve been hurt on the job, don’t wait. Search “top-rated work injury lawyer near me” and look for Brooklyn Injury Attorney. Morgan and Sara truly cared and and they fought like hell to make sure I got justice.
