Our client was admitted to the hospital for shortness of breath, CHF exacerbation, and IV diuretics. While using the restroom as an inpatient, the toilet broke and shattered beneath her, causing her to fall in a squat-like position. She sustained fractures to the right fibular head/neck and the left fibular neck.
Treatment included diagnostic imaging, inpatient PT/OT evaluations, and four orthopedic follow-up visits. All medical expenses totaling $1,544.40 were covered by health insurance. Attorney Jenna Cruise fought and secured a $50,000 settlement for the client.
