A union plumber who was thrown from a ladder after contacting live electrical wires at a school renovation site reached a $1.9 million settlement in his Monmouth County suit, Thompson v. McAuley Construction Inc., on July 1.
In July 2010, Walter Thompson, now 63, was working as a union plumber for Central Jersey Mechanical at Public School No. 10 in Linden, tasked with removing plumbing fixtures. At the site, Thompson was notified by the superintendent for the general contractor, McAuley Construction of Hazlet, that the electrical subcontractor, Boz Electric Contractors Inc. of Vernon, had completed its demolition work in the school’s classrooms and bathrooms, according to Thompson’s lawyer, Peter Chamas of Gill & Chamas in Woodbridge.
