Our client was visiting a dump in Lee’s Summit, Missouri, when an employee dropped a large metal rod on their leg. The incident caused a leg injury that required emergency care and months of follow-up treatment, including rehabilitation and an MRI.
Our Lee's Summit premises liability attorney gathered the medical records and bills needed to document the injury and show how the accident affected our client. After treatment was complete, we prepared and submitted a demand seeking compensation for their injuries and losses.
The initial settlement offer was just $20,000. We continued pursuing the claim and ultimately secured a $100,000 settlement for our client who was hurt at a Lee's Summit dump. That's five times the initial offer.
