$3.4 Million
Catastrophic Injury Premise Liability
Our client was on a playground swing set when a metal connector on the swing snapped. He was thrown off the swing into a nearby rocky creek bed, suffering fractures to his vertebrae, ribs, elbow, and wrist. The defendant argued that using a swing set includes inherent risks of serious injury. Our attorneys successfully argued that a lack of maintenance and negligent design of the playground significantly contributed to the risk of our client’s injuries, which could have been prevented had the swing set been properly maintained. A $3.4 million settlement was successfully reached.
