Premises Liability: $850K Settlement for Injured Minor

Our Client Recovered $850k for Fall through Skylight

Our client, a minor, attended a rooftop birthday celebration when she inadvertently stepped onto an unprotected skylight, plunging three stories to the ground below. The traumatic fall resulted in substantial scarring on her leg and buttocks, coupled with enduring emotional distress and anxiety.

Through meticulous investigation, our legal team established that both the property owner and event organizers failed to implement essential safety measures that could have prevented such an incident. By holding these parties accountable, we successfully secured a total settlement of $850,000 from the property owner and the event’s insurance provider, ensuring justice and financial relief for our client.

The Basics of Premises Liability

Premises liability encompasses the legal duty property owners bear in maintaining a secure environment for visitors, tenants, and guests. When a property is neglected, hazardous conditions may emerge, posing significant risks of injury. Under premises liability statutes, property owners, landlords, and event hosts can be held legally responsible for incidents resulting from unsafe conditions, including inadequate security measures, structural instabilities, and failure to warn of foreseeable dangers.

Individuals injured due to such hazardous conditions may have a right to seek compensation for medical costs, emotional trauma, lost wages, and additional damages. The degree of liability is contingent on various factors, such as the legal status of the injured party on the premises, the owner’s knowledge of the existing hazard, and whether reasonable preventative measures were taken.
