$280,000
Rental Property
A tenant tripped and fell due to loose, rotting floorboards in a rental property with a long history of ignored repair requests. The landlord had received written warnings but failed to act.
The Outcome:
We secured a $280,000 settlement that accounted for medical treatment, loss of income, and emotional suffering due to the landlord’s neglect.
Creative Legal Strategy:
We used prior inspection reports and tenant emails to prove knowledge and deliberate inaction. Our use of habitability standards and landlord-tenant statutes placed significant pressure on the defense to resolve the claim quickly and generously.
