Our client was seriously hurt while unloading a truck in Kansas City, Kansas. As they were working, they slipped on ice that had not been properly treated. Although some ice melt had been put down, it wasn’t enough to make the area safe. The fall caused significant knee and shoulder injuries that ultimately required surgery.
After the incident, the property’s representative attempted to shift the blame to the snow removal company. However, property owners and those responsible for maintaining the premises have a duty to keep walkways reasonably safe. When they fail to do so, people can get badly hurt.
The insurance company initially offered $75,000. We gathered the facts, documented the unsafe conditions, and sent a formal demand outlining our client’s injuries, medical treatment, and damages. The case resolved with a $150,000 settlement, helping our client move forward after a painful and preventable accident.
