February 18th, 2019

New York Construction Accident AttorneysN. Papaleo, a laborer who was working on a large renovation project, turning an old school into an apartment building, was injured when the front two legs of the A-frame ladder he was using collapsed with him on it. Though it was a large project, when Papaleo arrived to the jobsite, there were a limited number of ladders available to him. He took the last one and set it up to start working. Everything seemed to be in decent working order, until the ladder collapsed from under him because it was defective. Papaleo sustained injuries to his left shoulder as a result of the fall.

Knowing that he needed good representation as he continued to lose time from work, N. Papaleo decided to do a web search for an attorney. He was able to pull up Hill & Moin’s website and immediately contacted them to help represent him for his injuries. With a combined 70+ years of litigation experience, the attorneys of Hill & Moin were able to earn a half a million dollar settlement for N. Papaleo’s present and future pain and suffering.

N. Papaleo says: “[Hill & Moin] are phenomenal! They are like family. They were very informative and kept me involved with every step. They worked hard for me!”
