At JAMLAWNY, we are proud to share another successful outcome for one of our clients, Maria Calderon, who suffered serious injuries in a construction accident in October 2023.

Maria sustained a fractured right leg that required surgery, as well as serious lower-back injuries involving dislocated discs, which also required surgical treatment. These types of construction-site injuries can be life-altering, affecting a person’s ability to work, move comfortably, and maintain their quality of life.

Despite the severity of Maria’s injuries, her case presented significant challenges. From the beginning, the insurance company was not cooperative and resisted resolving the claim fairly. Cases like this often require persistence, strategic litigation planning, and strong advocacy to ensure injured workers receive the compensation they deserve.

Through the dedication and experience of our attorneys and paralegals, we continued to push forward—preparing the case thoroughly and positioning it for trial if necessary. As a result of that preparation and persistence, we successfully secured a $2.5 million settlement for Maria before the trial date, avoiding the stress and uncertainty of courtroom proceedings while still achieving an excellent outcome. 

This result reflects our firm’s commitment to:

• Standing up to difficult insurance carriers
• Preparing every case as if it will go to trial
• Fighting for maximum compensation for injured construction workers
• Supporting our clients through every step of the legal process

Construction accidents can cause devastating injuries, but with the right legal team, strong results are possible. We are proud of the work our legal staff performed on this case and honored that Maria trusted us to represent her. 

If you or a loved one has been injured in a construction accident, our team at JAMLAWNY is ready.
