Yarborough and Applegate in Charleston, SC contacted us for assistance in recreating an asbestos removal site for a workplace injury case they were resolving. A worker fell18 feet through an unmarked and hastily covered up hole where the installed scaffolding was incomplete.
There was no caution tape or instructions from her supervisor alerting her to the possible danger of the uncompleted area she would be working near. As a result of her fall she remains paralyzed from the neck down. The settlement was $15.75 million.
