Moore & Co. Secures $16 million Settlement After Jury Verdict on Liability
Michael Moore, Madison Bode and Rey Saenz, all of Moore & Co., have secured a settlement on behalf of a laborer injured in a South Florida boat yard. The Case proceeded to a successful full liability trial on the merits. After a Broward County Jury found the Defendants negligent, the Parties settled before the Court could turn to the question of damages.
The injured laborer was employed by a painting contractor when he fell from the scaffolding he was working from. He tragically sustained severe injuries which left him with a traumatic brain injury. “The Yacht world is normally a remarkably safe place to work on both boats and ashore. But negligence is negligence whenever and wherever it occurs”, said Michael Moore, lead trial attorney.
