An $8 million settlement has been reached in the case of a man who suffered a severe nerve injury following a short fall from a ladder while working on a heating, ventilating and air conditioning unit.

Broad St., was trying to open the fresh air vents on two air conditioning units on the school’s roof Nov. 15, 2006, when the rain hood on one of the unit’s economizer damper assemblies came off the unit and knocked Corosanite off a ladder, according to the plaintiffs’ pretrial memorandum.
