This was a civil settlement against an uninsured property owner who hired unlicensed contractors for a remodel. Our client fell from scaffolding that was improperly erected on his first day on the job. Fortunate for our client the property owner was well-to-do since there was no insurance coverage for this type of accident. A lesson to all – always check that a contractor’s license and insurance are up to date. After some heavy negotiations at mediation we reached a settlement.
