Premises Liability

Elderly woman who is legally blind slipped and fell on sidewalk ice at a place of business, while vacationing in Wisconsin Dells. The ice build-up was located in the handicap-accessible, sloped area of the sidewalk. She sustained a broken kneecap and other serious injuries to her leg. Attorney Matt DeVos obtained a settlement on her behalf prior to initiation of a lawsuit.

Dog Bite

Young boy was violently bitten by a neighbor's dog, sustaining injuries and scarring to his dominant hand. Attorney Matt DeVos handled the case and settled with the homeowner's insurance carrier without the necessity of having to file a lawsuit.

Premises Liability

Woman was shopping in a clothing store when a large, heavy wooden shelf fell from above, striking her on top of foot. Her foot was fractured as a result, and she sustained permanent soft-tissue foot injuries, which negatively affected her quality of life. The insurance company for the clothing store refused to offer a fair settlement offer, and she was forced to hire a lawyer. Attorney Matt DeVos filed a lawsuit on her behalf, and the case was settled before trial.

Personal Injury

Woman was horseback riding at a resort while vacationing in the Wisconsin Dells area, when a golf ball from a nearby golf course came crashing through nearby trees, spooking the horse she was riding, causing her to fall and sustain serious injuries. She suffered a massive orbital blowout fracture to her eye socket and is permanently scarred as a result. She will also have permanent problems with double-vision to her eye, and damage to her sinus cavity resulting in chronic sinusitis. Attorney Matt DeVos pursued injury claims against both the horse stable and the golf course for the dangerous co-mingling of these two activities. A settlement was reached prior to the filing of a lawsuit.
