Ceiling Collapse Victim Nets Six-Figure Settlement for Pain and Suffering

After enjoying an afternoon out shopping with a friend, L.H. was tired and expected some relaxation after her fun-filled day. What she could have never expected, however, was to be the victim of a ceiling collapse accident.

Returning to the apartment building of a friend, L.H. entered the front door into a hallway leading to the building’s staircase. Before L.H. or her companion were able to even turn on a light, they were both hit with something solid and heavy. Frightened and frantic, they did not realize they had been struck by falling pieces of a neglected ceiling that had rotted from water damage and collapsed onto them.

They were quickly transported to the hospital, and it was discovered that L.H. had suffered injuries to her neck and shoulders, causing radiating pain throughout her entire body. Frustrated and looking for accountability, L.H. sought legal support. By connecting with Hill & Moin, she found what she was looking for.

Describing Attorney David Zwerin as “great and knowledgeable,” she appreciated that he took the time to explain every step of her case until he was certain she understood, despite that she is a predominantly Russian speaker. At the conclusion of her case, Hill & Moin’s fight to achieve a settlement for their soft tissue injuries paid off, resulting in a six-figure award for L.H. and her friend.

Moving forward, L.H. doesn’t have any plans yet, but she does have ideas for a vacation!
