Doe Pedestrian v. Roe Building Owner

Mr. Horwitz represented a pedestrian who slipped and fell on a wet marble entryway to an office building. Mr. Horwitz’s client was diagnosed with a comminuted, depressed fracture of his left lateral tibial plateau. He underwent open reduction internal fixation surgery to repair his tibia. A Synthes 6-hole lateral tibial plateau plate with allograft bone were implanted into his left leg. Despite there being a significant issue with regard to liability, the case settled for $200,000.
