Case Details
A 4-year-old boy broke his left femur while sledding in a friend's backyard, striking a concealed tree stump. The homeowners were aware of the stump but failed to warn the family. The injury required in-hospital skeletal traction, a full body cast for 8 weeks, and resulted in ongoing leg, hip, and back pain.
Additional Notes

Attorney resolved medical claims utilizing only the $10,000 medical payment portion of the homeowners’ policy and settled the liability claim for $150,000. A portion of the proceeds was used to establish an annuity creating a total payout of over $230,000.
