Our client slipped and fell on black ice at the entrance of a commercial building in Michigan. The property owner had failed to salt, shovel, or remove the hazard for days—putting every visitor at risk. Our client suffered a serious fall that resulted in lasting injury.
Key Evidence:
Our legal team secured Ring Doorbell surveillance footage proving that the dangerous icy condition existed for at least 48 hours before the incident. The video showed multiple people slipping and no effort made by the property owner to treat the area—despite freezing conditions and foot traffic.
Injuries & Medical Treatment:
The fall caused a right elbow fracture, which required surgical internal fixation with hardware placement. Our client endured a painful recovery, permanent loss of range of motion, and scarring at the surgical site.
Settlement Result:
Before trial, we secured a $475,000 settlement for:
- Pain and suffering
- Permanent impairment
- Medicaid Lien Surgical costs
- Impact on daily function and quality of life
