Our client was injured after slipping on untreated ice outside a large hardware store in Smithville, Missouri. The property had not been properly treated for icy conditions, and our client slipped, which caused him to tear his rotator cuff and break a rib.
He needed surgery for his shoulder and dealt with the pain and limitations that came with the injuries. Like many people in similar situations, he was left dealing with medical care, recovery, and uncertainty about what to do next.
Initially, the offer from the other side did not reflect the seriousness of his injuries. We pushed back and continued building the case to show the full extent of what he went through. As a result, we were able to secure a $225,000 settlement, $100,000 more than what was first offered.
