Trial Victory Forces Insurance Company to Cough Up Fair Settlement.
Sometimes the best negotiating tool in settlement discussions is to take the case to trial.
Our client Alberto Jijon worked for a company called M&M Interiors that was hired to perform drywall work on a construction project, which involved the expansion of a plant where nutritional bars were manufactured.
Shortly before his accident, Mr. Jijon and his co-workers were installing drywall in an electrical room, which included drywall over a framed-out doorway.
On several occasions, M&M’s foreman asked the general contractor on the project to install a door in that area so that workers could safely enter and exit the electrical room.
The general contractor’s project superintendent, however, denied this request because he had scheduled a city building department inspection for the following day and believed that he needed to completely seal off the electrical room in order to pass the fire code inspection.
If he failed or postponed the inspection, the project would be delayed, which would cost his company money. When M&M’s foreman asked how his workers were supposed to access the electrical room in order to perform their work, without a door, the project superintendent’s response was, “Do the best you can.”
In short, the general contractor sacrificed worker safety in order to save time and money.
