Jed Kirsch recently obtained a settlement on behalf of a 10
year old girl who was injured when she fell while playing on playground
equipment during recess at her elementary school. After being retained by the family, our
office hired a playground safety expert who conducted an onsite inspection of
the equipment. He concluded that the playground equipment, as well as the
playground area itself, did not conform to existing standards of safety and
that a dangerous and hazardous condition existed at the time of the accident,
which the local school district failed to correct.

Our client sustained fractures of the left elbow and wrist,
requiring orthopedic treatment and physical therapy. Although she has made a good recovery, we
were able to obtain an excellent settlement of $125,000, based upon our preparation
for trial and our persistence in moving the case along and keeping pressure on
the school district. If you or a loved one is injured in a playground incident, call SILER & INGBER, LLP at 877-529-4343 for a free consultation.
