Listen to this articleThe plaintiff worked on a construction site when he slipped and fell. The plywood that covered the ground slipped and let it lose its balance.
The plaintiff claimed that the general contractor was negligent not to properly secure the plywood.
The defense claimed that the area was not limited to the plaintiff and he stumbled because it was careless.
Shortly after the incident, the plaintiff had a two -stage fusion that was largely unsuccessful when checking his radicular pain. He underwent a second merger that was successful. After the second operation, he had very little symptoms, but since the merger added two more stages, it had a limited area of movement.
The defense argued that the second merger was neither necessary nor related to the incident.
