Shulman Rogers is pleased to announce a multiple six-figure
settlement obtained on behalf of our client in a Virginia premises
liability case. Our client suffered a thoracic spinal fracture
after falling on black ice on concrete steps. The premises owner
had failed to salt or sand the steps despite rain and freezing
temperatures the night before the incident. The injury required
surgery and the installation of hardware in her back. When that
hardware later failed, she underwent a second surgery, and
extensive physical therapy.
Despite significant challenges to the liability portion of the
case, our team prevailed by leveraging photographic evidence and
deposition testimony demonstrating that the premises owner had
prior notice of the dangerous conditions and failed to act. While
our client continues to live with hardware in her back, the nearly
half-million dollar settlement provides meaningful compensation and
a path forward from an unexpected and life-altering ordeal.
Shareholder and Personal Injury & Medical Malpractice Group Chair Mike Nakamura led the matter with Jessica
Baker, serving as lead paralegal. We are grateful for the trust our
client placed in us and remain committed to fighting for
accountability and fair recovery for those harmed by the negligence
of others.
Shulman Rogers’ Personal Injury practice represents
inpiduals and families facing life-altering injuries caused by
negligence, unsafe conditions, and preventable harm. Our team
handles complex, high-stakes matters with rigorous investigation,
strategic litigation, and compassionate advocacy, working to secure
accountability and meaningful recovery while guiding clients
