Lowcountry Injury Law Announces Most Recent Settlement: Bicyclist Sustains Head Injury From Falling Decayed Tree - $1.8 million.

While riding her bike on a designated public pedestrian/bicycle pathway that was adjacent to a condominium project, the top portion of a tree located on the condo property broke off and struck the Plaintiff in the head. The tree was visibly decayed with a large opening at the base of its trunk and had other signs of decay and defects on many areas of the tree. The management company for the condo regime, which conducted weekly property inspections, and two tree companies it hired in prior years to conduct tree assessments to identify dangerous trees, failed to discover the subject tree. The Plaintiff’s tree experts testified that the advanced state of deterioration would have been visible for a number of years; that the proximity of both the parking lot and bicycle path provided multiple targets for the defective tree; and in combination these factors created a high risk situation that called for the removal of the tree. Testing was inconclusive as to whether the client sustained an actual brain injury, but she was diagnosed with post-concussive syndrome with persistent headaches, PTSS, adjustment disorder with depression, and undetermined cognitive deficits, which much improved with intense therapy. The client was represented by Dan Denton and Karl Twenge, Beaufort, and Chad McGowan, Rock Hill, SC.

Result: After the jury was qualified, the defendants settled for $1.8 million. Additionally, the client was awarded Social Security disability with lifetime medical treatment.

Our law firm's most recent personal injury settelment:

Premises Liability –Trip & Fall in Parking Lot – Foot Injury – RSD.

In a case that was settled with a confidentiality agreement, preventing the disclosure of facts that might identify the case or parties, client tripped in a parking lot, breaking a bone in her foot and later developed RSD, requiring intensive pain management. Liability was vigorously disputed (as usual in trip & fall cases). The case was complicated by the fact that client had a subsequent fall in another parking lot about a year later, and client’s pain management doctor testified (assuming erroneous facts) that client was doing well until the second fall aggravated/worsened the RSD condition sustained from the first fall. Both sides utilized architectural and engineering experts to give opinions on parking lot design and maintenance issues. Karl Twenge, Esq., was brought in the case as co-counsel three months before mediation and provided valuable assistance by developing the “damages” aspects of the case, including obtaining expert opinions on economic loss, medical causation and future medical care and expenses.

Result: After over 9 hours of negotiations, the case settled at mediation for $500,000.00.
