Tkachev v. Ledcor
$2.4 million settlement
Plaintiff’s counsel: Kevin Coluccio, Paul L. Stritmatter
Construction laborer Vasily Tkachev, a Ukrainian immigrant, was applying wire mesh outside a building. Guardrails had not yet arrived for the scaffold Vasily was using. As he worked, Vasily’s foot got tangled in the mesh stacked on the scaffold and he fell to the ground. Injuries included a broken leg, which eventually became infected and had to be amputated. Through careful investigation and a detailed presentation of the facts of the case, Kevin was able to obtain this outstanding result.
