Wrongful Death Recovery For Construction Worker
A thirty-nine-year-old man was killed while performing roof painting work when his long-handled brush/applicator contacted an overhead phase wire, causing him to suffer severe shock, causing his roofing paint to catch fire, and ultimately causing him to fall nineteen feet to the ground while engulfed in flame. The investigation by the attorneys at Marciano & MacAvoy revealed that the electric company and property owner were negligent in that the wiring was too close to the roof, a clear violation of Pennsylvania law. Prior to trial, Kevin R. Marciano, Esquire and Patrick D. MacAvoy, Esquire of Marciano & MacAvoy were able to obtain a favorable settlement on behalf of the family against the defendants for a total of $950,000.
