In March 2021 Pryor Law settled a Fair Labor Standards Act unpaid wages case for $90,000.00. Pryor Law filed the federal case in March 2020 for a plaintiff who lives in the Bronx.

At first, Plaintiff sought Pryor Law’s guidance to evaluate the fairness of his worker’s compensation settlement. While he was working at a construction supply company, he had fallen 20-30 feet and landed on his shoulder, permanently disabling him. He had hired counsel to litigate his worker’s compensation claim but wanted a second opinion on whether the settlement was fair.

The Pryor Law attorneys determined that the plaintiff was in fact receiving a fair worker’s compensation settlement. However, during the conversation about the plaintiff’s workplace, Ted Pryor was able to determine that plaintiff had been paid less than minimum wage without overtime pay during his employment.

Pryor Law brought a federal lawsuit against plaintiff’s former employer and litigated the case for about one year. There were extensive settlement negotiations with the employer which concluded with a settlement of $90,000.00.
