OFFICER RECEIVES A $550,000 SETTLEMENT FROM A PRIVATE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY AFTER TRIPPING ON EXPOSED WIRES AT A CONSTRUCTION SITE

A New York City Police Officer received a $550,000 settlement from a construction company when she was injured after tripping on a pile of extension cords and other construction materials. The Officer aggravated a prior LOD injury to the same knee and suffered a new tear of the medial meniscus. The Officer chose not to have surgery for the new injury after undergoing an ACL reconstruction five years earlier. The Officer was awarded a ¾ line-of-duty accidental disability pension. DCD sued the construction company pursuant to GML §205-e alleging the construction company violated New York City Administrative Code provisions Sections 19-109(a)(b), 19-110, 27-1020, 27-1023(a)(6) alleging the construction company failed to exercise due caution in permitting exposed construction materials on a public walkway. At a pre-trial mediation Dominic DiPrisco settled the case for $550,000.
