Fractured hip results in total hip replacement in retired school teacher who slipped and fell on rolled up carpet

$400,000

This retired gentleman suffered a catastrophic injury that changed his retirement plans with his wife. After spending several days in the hospital and several weeks in rehab, he returned home to Florida. They had stopped in their travel camper to visit their son in Massachusetts while on the way to Maine for the summer when this preventable fall occurred. Suit was filed and discovery completed. The insurance carrier recommended mediation. The parties agreed to mediate before JAMS in Philadelphia Pennsylvania when the man was on his way up from Florida to Maine the next year. The retired Federal judge was very impressed with the credibility of the victim and his long tenure as a teacher and long marriage. Based on the strength of the case Attorney Goodman developed and his very impressive clients, the case settled for six figures.
