Employee Suffers Fall From Ladder Fixing Leaking Ceiling While On The Job, Receives $900,000 Settlement

Abu Yousuf enjoys reading and keeping up with current events, but an unexpected accident at work brought a challenging chapter into his life. While working at a coffee shop, Abu noticed a leaking ceiling tile and alerted building management to the defect, but his concerns went unanswered. Given the grave risk to patrons of the business, he attempted to repair it himself, and in doing so he fell off a ladder, sustaining serious injuries, requiring surgery. Determined to pursue justice, Abu turned to Hill & Moin, LLP, for help.

Throughout the process, Abu found Hill & Moin to be professional, welcoming, and dedicated to keeping him informed. He appreciated the clear explanations of every stage of his case and was especially grateful for Attorney Eric Wittels’s hands-on approach and responsiveness. Mr. Wittels consistently returned calls and provided updates, ensuring Abu never felt left in the dark.

With its experienced attorneys and dedication to client communication and personalized representation, the staff at Hill & Moin made Abu feel supported throughout his case. Ultimately, Hill & Moin secured an impressive $900,000 settlement on his behalf. Grateful and satisfied with the outcome, Abu plans to use his settlement funds to purchase a home in the suburbs and grow his savings.
