Our client was a 37 year-old male who was
attending his appointment at a hair salon.
While at the salon, our client walked towards the back of the facility
to use the restroom. The back area of
the salon was unlit and very dark.
Because of the poor lighting, our client was unable to see that there
was an open trap door leading to the basement.
Additionally, there were no warning signs or cones to indicate that the
trap door was left open in order to prevent an accident from occurring.
Our client fell, suddenly, through the trap
door and landed with his knees and chest onto the hard, concrete basement
floor. Our client bled from his injuries
and had substantial pain to his knee. Our client suffered a knee tear, however, after extensive physical therapy he was able to avoid surgery. Our
attorney Steve Levy of SILER & INGBER, LLP was able to reach a settlement agreement for $95,000 to
compensate our client for his injuries.
If you or a loved one is injured, please call SILER & INGBER, LLP for a free consultation at 1-877-529-4343.
