Chair Collapse Injury – Bowling Alley Incident
Result: $225,000 Settlement – Justice secured for a preventable incident.
Case Summary:
Our client visited a bowling alley and sat in a chair that immediately collapsed, causing her to fall to the floor and suffer injuries. Initially, the bowling alley denied any responsibility and even blamed our client for causing the fall.
In search of justice, our client retained the Bodden & Bennett Law Group to prove that she was not responsible for the collapse or her resulting injuries. A lawsuit was filed against the bowling alley to uncover the truth.
Outcome:
Through the litigation process, our attorneys discovered that the bowling alley had a history of prior chair collapses and was aware of the instability of certain chairs at the time of our client’s injury. This critical evidence led to a favorable $225,000 settlement that fairly compensated our client for her injuries, pain, and suffering.
Legal Takeaway:
Businesses have a duty to maintain safe premises. When they fail—and try to shift blame—our legal team steps in to uncover the truth and secure justice.
