At JAMLAWNY, we are proud to share another major result achieved on behalf of one of our clients, Antonio Flores, who suffered a devastating workplace injury at a construction site in New York City.

In 2021, Antonio was performing construction work using a high-pressure cement hose while standing on scaffolding. Due to the force generated by the equipment, he lost his balance and fell from the scaffolding, causing severe injuries to his lower back. The accident resulted in multiple spinal fractures, and Antonio ultimately required several surgeries as part of his recovery.

Construction accidents involving municipal entities present unique legal challenges. As many attorneys know, claims involving the City of New York can take years to resolve, often requiring extensive litigation before a case reaches the point where meaningful settlement discussions occur. Antonio’s case was no exception. It required patience, preparation, and a strong commitment to pursuing justice over the long term.

After several years of persistent legal work and careful case development, our legal team successfully secured a $4.5 million settlement on Antonio’s behalf before trial. This outcome reflects the seriousness of his injuries and the strength of the case our attorneys built through detailed investigation, expert coordination, and litigation strategy. 

This result was made possible through the dedication and teamwork of our attorneys and paralegals, who worked tirelessly throughout the life of the case to ensure Antonio received the compensation he deserved for his injuries, surgeries, lost time from work, and long-term impact on his quality of life.

At JAMLAWNY, we understand how overwhelming a construction accident can be
