Attorneys for a 48-year-old Torrington electrician who injured his back after falling from a ladder on a construction job at the new Litchfield Judicial District courthouse facility have settled the case for $610,000.

Matthew Davidson suffered compression fractures to his first and second lumbar vertebrae after falling about 15 feet from an unsteady ladder while on the job in December 2015, according to a lawsuit filed in Litchfield Superior Court in November 2017.
