Rubenstein Law Obtains a $20 Million Verdict in a Premises Liability Case
MIAMI, Feb. 28, 2023 — Rubenstein Law, P.A., a personal injury firm headquartered in Florida, announced today that it obtained a $20 million verdict in a premises liability case following a hotly contested two-week trial. The jury verdict was delivered against two corporate defendants and in favor of a young man who was seriously injured when a wall separating a construction site from a public sidewalk collapsed.
In 2015, a 15-year-old was walking home from school in Miami when an unreinforced masonry wall separating a construction site from the sidewalk was struck by a piece of construction equipment and collapsed. The young man was struck by falling cinderblocks and pinned under the rubble, suffering critical injuries. After 5 difficult surgeries, he is now 22 years old and left with instability in his left knee and severe scarring which has drastically impacted, not only his teenage years, but the rest of his life.
Rubenstein Law senior partner and trial attorney Raul E. Garcia Jr. represented our client as the Plaintiff against the two corporate defendants, both of which were represented by legal teams of significant size.
“It was a genuine privilege to represent this exceptional young man who continues to endure so many challenges,” Garcia Jr. said. “I am very pleased that the jury ruled in his favor and can only hope that this case will bring light to preventable harm at construction sites.”
