NYC construction worker gets $1.5 million for eye injury
A New York City construction worker who was permanently disabled on the job has settled a lawsuit for $1.5 million against a construction company and three real estate companies that owned the site.
News sources report that 44-year-old James Morrow, a foreman, was partially blinded in one eye at a Manhattan worksite on Aug. 29, 2014. The injury occurred when Morrow’s right eye came into contact with a clamp wedge spike that was part of the support jacks being used to support a first-floor deck when concrete was poured.
