A construction laborer suffered severe injuries while working with sandblasting equipment on a job site. During the operation, a discharge hose suddenly disconnected, releasing pressurized air and sand that struck him directly in the face. The worker sustained traumatic injuries to his brain, eyes, and cervical spine, requiring extensive medical treatment and ongoing care.

The case involved complex issues of construction site safety, equipment failure, and liability among multiple parties. Through aggressive litigation and thorough trial preparation, our firm demonstrated that proper safety measures were not followed and that the equipment was not safely maintained or secured.

On the eve of trial, the case resolved for $5,000,000, providing substantial compensation for the worker's injuries, pain and suffering, and long-term impact.
