WRSMH Attorney Noah Katz Secures $9.9 Million Settlement for Family of Construction Worker Killed by Falling Metal Object

NEW YORK, Sept. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In a tragic workplace incident, a union construction worker lost his life after being struck by a heavy metal object that was not properly secured by contractors. The family of the deceased worker has reached a $9.945 million settlement in a wrongful death case resolved by Noah Katz, attorney at Wingate, Russotti, Shapiro, Moses & Halperin, LLP (WRSMH).

The case involved a preventable accident at a construction site where a large metal object became dislodged due to contractor negligence and struck the worker fatally. WRSMH represented the worker's wife and five children, pursuing justice on their behalf during a profoundly difficult time.

Attorney Noah Katz resolved the case prior to trial, securing the settlement efficiently and sparing the family from prolonged litigation. The resolution provides critical financial support to the surviving family members and underscores the importance of safety compliance and accountability on construction sites.

"This case was a heartbreaking reminder of the risks workers face when proper safety protocols are not followed," said Katz. "While no settlement can replace a loved one, we're honored to have helped this family secure the resources they need to move forward."
