$281,000.00 for a retired 71-year-old man who fell down a flight of interior stairs while visiting family and sustained a head injury. Although the defendant’s insurance company initially refused to pay due to the fact that our client was severely intoxicated, our thorough investigation and knowledge of medicine provided us with evidence that allowed us to demonstrate that the stairs were defective and that the defect contributed to our client’s accident, thereby forcing the insurance company to settle the case for $281,000.00 out of the available $300,000.00 insurance coverage.
