NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, February 2, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- WRSMH Attorney Secures $36.25 Million Award for Injured New York Construction Worker Who Fell Two Stories Onto a Concrete Floor – Wingate, Russotti, Shapiro, Moses & Halperin, LLP is proud to announce that attorney Andrew Wanger has secured a $36,250,000 award, including $25,000,000 in damages and $11,250,000 in pre-judgment interest for a 45-year-old New York construction worker who suffered severe injuries on the job.

The client was performing construction work when he was forced to fall through a hole, plummeting two stories onto a concrete floor. The impact rendered him unconscious and caused catastrophic injuries, including a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and extensive orthopedic damage.
As a result of the fall, the worker underwent 14 separate surgical procedures, including open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) surgeries on his right leg, right elbow, right heel, and lumbar spine. His long medical journey also included bilateral arthroscopic knee surgeries, an ankle and heel fusion, and a level two lumbar fusion. These surgeries represent not only the gravity of the incident, but also the long-term challenges he will face for the rest of his life.
