Belluck & Fox runs a documentary-liability playbook: they turn the defendant's own safety apparatus—site-safety plans, staffing schedules, OSHA history—into the spine of the liability case, pairing §241(6) statutory hooks with willful-violation framing to compress jury deliberation and inflate verdicts. The known results bear this out: an $78.5M verdict in Estate of Nguyen v. Skanska USA (NY, 2025) returned in under four hours, and a $47.2M verdict in Kowalski v. Turner Construction (IL, 2026) built on a spotter staffing gap and the defendant's own safety plan read back as a roadmap to fault. With ten book businesses in their sights and five active suits, the exposure here is methodological, not incidental—this firm targets construction defendants whose compliance documentation is more thorough than their compliance.
