Trip-And-Fall – Jefferson County, Alabama

Jeff Rickard settled a case for a man who suffered serious and permanent injuries while hurt on-the-job in Bessemer. The heating and cooling technician was dispatched to repair an air conditioning unit at a fast food restaurant. While walking along the sidewalk in the back of the store, he tripped over two protruding bolts causing him to lose his balance and fall headfirst into an AC condensing unit. The suit claimed that both the property owner and the tenant failed to keep the property in a reasonably safe condition. Our client underwent complex three-level cervical surgery and multiple surgeries to his shoulder. He lives with pain daily and is under the care of a pain-management physician. He cannot return to work.
