$1,000,000 Settlement; slip and fall premises liability. D.S., a 60 year old bus driver, volunteered as an instructor at a summer camp for inner-city kids in the Angeles Forest. While walking to the dining hall he stepped on a soft patch of dirt in a camp road which had recently been repaired, and fell, breaking his left leg. The fracture was severe, requiring the insertion of a rod and multiple other surgeries, and D.S. suffered a permanent limp. The camp and the contractor who’d performed the road repairs denied responsibility for D.S.’s injuries, claiming it was all his fault. Kuzyk Personal Injury & Car Accidents Lawyers took the case, and after filing a lawsuit, discovered that the hole D.S. had stepped in was an uncovered vault containing a valve for a recently installed fire hydrant, and that the cover was being used as a doorstop in a nearby building. After this revelation, the insurance companies for the camp and the contractor jointly paid $1,000,000 to settle the case.
