A construction supervisor hurt during a fall at the Central Park police station in 2009 was awarded $1 million by an appeals court yesterday.
“I’m ecstatic,” said Mark Grinberg, 64, of Manhattan.
Grinberg was working on the 86th Street transverse road in the snow when he slipped on a piece of plywood, draped in plastic, that was covering a hole.
A lower-court jury awarded him only $110,000, despite a “limb-threatening injury” to his left leg.
“I was very disappointed with the original jury verdict,” Grinberg said. “I thought it was totally unfair, but now with this appeal, a sense of justice was accomplished.”
