The firm represented a lath, plaster and drywall subcontractor whose employee suffered serious injuries in an on-site hose whipping accident. The employee alleged the incident was the result of the subcontractor’s serious and willful misconduct, including by not properly locking out/tagging out the hose. He sought more than $250,000 in damages. The firm defended the subcontractor at trial, ultimately obtaining a favorable settlement for a fraction of the original amount claimed.
