Gorayeb & Associates, a prominent law firm celebrated for its dedication to construction accident victims, recently announced a significant victory in the Kings County Supreme Court in Brooklyn, New York. The firm successfully secured a $10.25 million verdict on behalf of a 40-year-old Ecuadorian construction worker. This outcome marks a significant achievement in the firm’s history, emphasizing its commitment to New York's Hispanic community and undocumented workers.

Christopher Gorayeb, the firm's attorney, highlighted the importance of this verdict in recognizing the severe impact work accidents have on individuals and their families.

This triumph not only ensures the worker's economic future but also underscores the importance of workplace safety and the rights of undocumented workers. Gorayeb & Associates' success in this complex case reaffirms its position as a leading advocate for the Hispanic community in New York, with a proven track record of fighting for justice and securing the futures of its clients.
