Case Description
Our client rented a home on Mount Hood for a ski weekend with friends. While his companions were congregating downstairs, he decided to go onto the balcony to get some fresh air and look at the nearby creek.
When the client leaned on the railing, it collapsed, causing him to fall to the ground below. He lay there in agony for 15 minutes until his dog discovered him. He was later diagnosed with three broken vertebrae in his back.
Challenges
In this complex case, our team faced the difficulty of the insurance company claiming the policy on the house was invalid for rental properties.
Resolution
Through our steadfast efforts, we successfully obtained a $300,000 settlement for our client, providing crucial financial support for his recovery and the challenges he faced due to the accident. Additionally, we urged the insurance company to pursue reimbursement from the insurance agent responsible for the incorrect policy order.
