Claims of Injured Slip and Fall Victim Resolved


LOS ANGELES – The claims for damages of an injured slip and fall victim was resolved after the insurer has agreed to settle its obligations with the victim. The claims arose from an accident that occurred at a Los Angeles apartment where the victim occupies a basement unit as a tenant.

According to the victim, she had just finished doing her laundry at the ground floor and was descending the stairways leading to her unit, when she suddenly slipped and fell a flight of stairs. To prevent her fall, she dropped the laundry basket she was carrying and tried to grab on to something. But apparently, the stairway has no handrail on its right side and she fell and landed on top of her laundry basket.

She suffered a scraped knee and severe back pain because of the accident.

According to the victim, the accident should have been prevented had the apartment owner made the necessary action on their complaints as similar incidents had already occurred in the past but the owner neglected to act on it.

The victim blamed the unlit stairway and defective design of the stairway as the possible causes of the accident. The victim’s pain caused by the injury persisted and because of this, she had to undergo numerous treatments.

Ms Doe’s life has changed so much since the accident. Her activities were limited to doing light tasks and less physical work. Even her travel abroad was postponed. Ultimately, her career, relationships and lifestyle were affected by her injuries, which led to mental distress, emotional pain, suffering, and severe depression.

Shortly after that, the victim sought the help of the skilled personal injury lawyers of the Mesriani Law Group, and in her behalf, demanded compensation for her claims, culminating in a successful settlement.

The settlement included payment for her initial medical bills, future surgery, and compensation for lost earnings, and her pain and suffering. Aside from the actual damages and medical expenses incurred because of the incident, the victim also received compensation for substantial losses in earnings, due to her failure to attend to her job as freelance writer and personal chef.
