$400,000

Settlement for Hotel Guest Injured When Toilet Collapsed

The Case
Our client, a hotel guest who had requested a handicap accessible room, was seriously injured when the toilet in his bathroom suddenly collapsed beneath him. He sustained lacerations to his face, leg, torso, and hip, was left wheelchair bound, and suffered a worsening of preexisting conditions. We pursued a premises liability claim for failing to maintain a safe fixture in a room the guest specifically relied on for accessibility.
The Outcome
After litigation, the case resolved for $400,000 securing compensation for our client’s injuries, his loss of mobility, and the lasting impact on his health.
