MIAMI-DADE County, Florida—A precedent-setting settlement has been reached in a high-stakes workplace safety litigation handled by DiBiaggio Law. The near seven-figure resolution brings justice to a worker severely injured in a catastrophic electrocution accident at a Doral, Florida, job site.
Catastrophic Incident Highlights Safety Failures
On June 14, 2020, a worker operated a scissor lift at a job site. After coming into contact with uninsulated and live power sources, the worker suffered life-altering injuries. This incident revealed significant safety oversights by those responsible for securing the site.
The claims allege that the general contractor had neglected to de-energize hazardous setups despite clear risks. Property owners also failed to provide a safe working environment and warn about dangerous conditions.
Settlement Reinforces Accountability
The settlement is a significant victory for workplace safety. It highlights the responsibilities employers and site managers bear in protecting workers. DiBiaggio Law successfully demonstrated how inadequate safety measures caused irreversible harm, securing necessary compensation for the injured worker.
“This verdict sends a clear message,” said Deirdre DiBiaggio, Esq. “Workplace safety is non-negotiable, and companies must take all necessary steps to protect lives. This case reflects our commitment to advocating for those affected by negligence.”
A Call for Stricter Safety Measures
The resolution reinforces the importance of rigorous safety protocols in the construction and property management industries. It sets a benchmark for accountability so that workplaces can prevent similar tragedies in the future.
