Construction Accident Case: M.S. was a retiree who had recently moved into a newly built home, the home her and her loving husband intended to stay in forever. One day, when her husband was getting some things from Home Depot, M.S. Opened up the cabinet above the washing machine, and the entire cabinet came out of the wall, landing upon this elderly woman. She stayed trapped under that cabinet until her husband finally came home. She suffered a knee injury from the incident.
We took this case to the jury because the defendants were only offering $15,000 to settle the case.
