Case Details
The client was a 53 year old man that was standing on a ladder trimming bushes when the ladder buckled throwing him to the ground. The client sustained an ankle injury that required 3 surgeries. The client claimed that the ladder was defectively manufactured because it was supposed to hold a man of his weight. The ladder company denied that the ladder was defective and blamed the client for misusing the ladder. We hired an engineer that was an expert in ladder design. By using a replica ladder, we were able to reconstruct the accident and demonstrate exactly why it buckled and was defective. In mediation, we were able to obtain a settlement in the amount of $500,000
Additional Notes
Settled in mediation. Used expert engineer and replica ladder to prove defect.
