$850,000 Settlement for Trip and Fall at Apartment Complex

$850,000 to a 60 year old actor that tripped over a paver stone at his apartment complex, injuring his lumbar spine and requiring surgery. The victim had a history of neck and hip surgeries from a deformed spine and another serious accident and was already on social security/disability. Compounding damages, however, was that a titanium screw in the hardware placed in his back, snapped, putting his spinal cord at risk and requiring another, more complex surgery to remove some of the hardware and stabilize the back.
