I had to leave the state where I lived in order to find work to take care of my family. I ended up in New York City, working on a small project that required me to work on some scaffolding. One day, the scaffolding failed and I ended up falling about 20 feet to the ground. Although I was not injured permanently, I did happen to miss about two weeks worth of work, a devastating thing for myself and my family. I would never see the money that I lost if it would not have been for a ny injury attorney that I hired. They were able to get the compensated fully for the lost time.
