A 16-year-old was struck in the left eye by a piece of metal while walking under a Safway Steel Products scaffold in Brooklyn in 1999, permanently damaging his retina. Safway's answer was struck after two years of ignoring discovery orders, and a Kings County inquest produced a $1.05 million judgment in 2005.
