At the Law Offices of Andrew Spirt, PLLC, we fight for individuals who suffer preventable injuries due to hotel negligence. We are pleased to announce a $200,000 recovery for a disabled woman who sustained a torn rotator cuff after a fall caused by the defective and dangerous condition of a shower chair in a hotel.

The Case in Brief

  • Client: Disabled woman

  • Incident: Fall caused by a defective hotel shower chair

  • Injuries: Torn rotator cuff, requiring medical treatment and rehabilitation

  • Result: Settlement of $200,000

What Happened

Our client, a disabled woman, was using a shower chair provided by a hotel. The chair was defective and failed to support her properly, causing her to fall and tear her rotator cuff. The injury resulted in significant pain, physical therapy, and limitations in performing daily activities.

The Legal Issues

Hotels and other service providers have a legal duty to provide safe equipment, especially for guests who rely on mobility aids or accessible devices. In this case, we demonstrated:

  • Negligence: The hotel failed to ensure the shower chair was safe and properly maintained.

  • Causation: The defective chair directly caused our client’s fall and resulting injury.

  • Damages: Medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, physical pain, and loss of independence were all part of the claim.

Why This Settlement Matters

Accessible facilities are critical for disabled individuals. When safety devices fail, the consequences can be severe:

  1. Physical injuries: Falls can lead to tears, fractures, or long-term mobility issues.

  2. Emotional impact: Loss of independence and fear of using accessible equipment again.

  3. Financial burden: Medical care, therapy, and potential lost income or assistance costs.

How Spirt Law Helped

Our team carefully investigated the case, including:

  • Inspecting the defective shower chair and hotel records

  • Working with medical experts to document the extent of the rotator cuff injury

  • Demonstrating the hotel’s responsibility to provide safe accommodations for disabled guests

Our thorough preparation and dedicated advocacy resulted in a $200,000 settlement, helping our client cover medical costs and regain some peace of mind.
