$500K Settlement for Falling Through the Attic Floor
Date of Incident: October 2021
Result: $500,000 Settlement – A powerful result for a Bodden & Bennett Law Group client.
Case Summary:
In October of 2021, a utility company entered the home of our teenage client to perform routine work. During the visit, the utility worker went into the attic and re-arranged the flooring without notifying the homeowner. Unaware of the change, our client later entered the attic and tragically fell through the ceiling to the ground below, sustaining significant injuries.
The utility company denied all responsibility for years, placing full blame on our client for her own injuries. Despite this, the legal team at Bodden & Bennett Law Group pursued justice through several years of hard-fought litigation.
Outcome:
Our attorneys ultimately secured a $500,000 settlement on behalf of the client, ensuring she received the compensation she needed and deserved.
Legal Takeaway:
Even when large companies deny responsibility, justice is possible with the right legal team. We fight for those whose voices are dismissed—and we don’t back down.
