Presiding Judge: Hon. Anna Culley
Overview
In a personal injury case filed in Queens, New York, the Supreme Court awarded more than $3.27 million in damages to a construction worker who suffered a severe wrist injury on the job.
The incident occurred on September 24, 2019, and the lawsuit was formally filed on January 13, 2021. After the defendants defaulted, the case proceeded to an inquest on damages before the court, which entered judgment in favor of the injured worker.
Injury and Medical Treatment
The plaintiff sustained a comminuted, posteriorly angulated, and displaced intra-articular fracture of the right wrist — a complex injury involving multiple bone fragments and joint displacement.
Treatment required:
- Closed reduction to realign the fracture
- Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) to surgically stabilize the wrist with plates and screws
- Post-surgical injections and rehabilitation therapy to restore mobility and reduce pain
Despite extensive treatment, long-term limitations persisted, significantly affecting the individual’s ability to work and perform daily activities.
Verdict and Judgment
Following trial proceedings, the court awarded:
- Damages: $3,294,250.00
- Interest (from June 27, 2025): $82,040.36
- Costs and Disbursements: $905.00
- Total Judgment: $3,377,195.36
This substantial award reflects the seriousness of the injury and its impact on the plaintiff’s earning capacity and quality of life.
