Evan Robinson, a Leesfield & Partners Trial Lawyer,  secured a $350,000 settlement for a woman who shattered her hip as a result of a violent fall at a Monroe County tourist attraction. 

Our client visited the popular tourist attraction while on vacation in the Keys with her husband.  As the couple navigated the property’s narrow and crowded walkway, that was supposed to be flanked with gravel on both sides, our client stepped off the edge of the walkway and into a trench in an area where there was no gravel.  As a result, our client lost her balance and fell violently onto the concrete ground, causing an injury that would forever alter her previously active lifestyle.  

During the course of the litigation, Mr. Robinson learned that the walkway on which our client fell posed a dangerous hazard that was well-known to numerous employees and managers who worked at the attraction. Specifically, the frequent displacement of gravel caused by visitors constantly kicking it around resulted in the walkway repeatedly becoming unlevel.  This recurring hazard presented such a serious danger that it required daily inspections and maintenance for over 16 years.  In fact, every employee who worked at the attraction was instructed to keep watch over this area and bags of additional gravel were kept on site so that maintenance personnel could re-level the walkway when the gravel was displaced.
