Case Details
A young child in a daycare center suffered significant injuries to their sinus area after being struck by a falling bookcase, requiring multiple surgeries. The incident led to a premises liability claim against the daycare for failing to comply with regulations requiring large bookcases to be secured to the wall or floor.
Additional Notes
Initially denied, the claim resulted in a $250,000 settlement on the eve of trial. The settlement was structured through an annuity, providing tax-free payments totaling approximately $400,000 over time. Payments will begin when the child, now seven years old, reaches their 20s, benefiting from non-taxable interest at an effective rate of 6%.
