$1,237,724.00 Verdict

PREMISE LIABILITY

Court B. Purdy of Paoli & Purdy, PC and Jeffrey Greenman of Greenman Law, P.C. obtained an arbitration award in a premises liability case against Kaiser Foundation and its related affiliates for $1,237,724.00. This case stemmed from Plaintiff’s use of a handicap bathroom door at a Kaiser facility in Anaheim that Plaintiff claimed had not been installed per the ADA requirements thereby causing her to fall and injure her right arm which resulted in seven surgeries, infections and permanent injury. The Defense argued that there was nothing wrong with the forces to either open or close the bathroom door, that Plaintiff caused her injury and that the care was not related to the fall, if in fact it had even occurred as Plaintiff described. There was never any offer by the Defendant to resolve this matter before the arbitration.
