Ankle Fractures
According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, ankle injuries account for 12 percent of all bone fractures that occur in the workplace and result in some of the most substantial time missed from work due to a fracture injury. In New York, ankle injuries are even more prevalent due to the significant number of ladder and scaffold falls that occur in the state each year.
​

-
$4 million settlement for an 87-year-old woman hit by auto failing to yield to pedestrian in crosswalk resulting in fractured leg and ankle and requiring surgery with skin grafting.
-
$2.775 million settlement for a construction worker injured while unloading delivery of flatbed truck who fell and injured his back and ankles, necessitating surgeries.
