$350,000
Residential Property
Our client sustained severe injuries after falling on a poorly maintained stairwell in a homeowners association (HOA) community. The stairs were deteriorated, uneven, and lacked proper handrails, despite ongoing complaints from residents. The fall resulted in a major surgery and long-term disability.
The Outcome:
We recovered $350,000 in compensation, reflecting the permanent nature of the client’s injuries and the HOA’s documented negligence in property maintenance.
Creative Legal Strategy:
We obtained maintenance logs and prior complaints to establish actual notice. By coupling code violation analysis with expert testimony from a building safety engineer, we built an airtight case that forced the insurer to settle before trial.
