- **Case type:** Premises liability / trip and fall
- **Location:** Shreveport, LA
- **Injuries:** Right shoulder rotator cuff tear, right knee injury (requiring arthroplasty), and neck/arm pain

## Case Description

While working as a caterer at a local banquet facility, our client tripped over a loose board located at the bottom of a doorway. The facility was aware of the hazard but had failed to fix it. The fall was severe enough to require multiple surgeries, including a knee replacement and rotator cuff repair.

## Legal Strategy

We deposed facility employees to establish that they had notice of the dangerous condition and retained medical experts to demonstrate the necessity of the surgeries.

## Challenges

Establishing both the liability of the facility and the direct medical causation of the fall to the surgeries required.

## Resolution

Settled through mediation for $650,000.
