Broken Heel Settlement

Our client was injured on a defendant’s property in San Bernardino, California, suffering a broken foot – specifically a fractured heel – due to unsafe conditions on the premises. Despite the seriousness of the injury, the defendant contested liability and argued that the impact on our client’s life was minimal, pointing to the fact that he was able to return to work within a few months of the accident.

Feher Law pushed back against attempts to minimize the injury and its consequences. A fractured heel – or calcaneus fracture – is a painful and disabling injury that can affect a person’s ability to walk, stand for extended periods, and engage in physical activities long after returning to work. The long-term consequences, including chronic heel pain and increased risk of arthritis in the affected joint, are real and fully compensable under California personal injury law.

Despite the defense’s efforts to limit the verdict, the jury returned a verdict of approximately $1,547,000 in favor of our client in San Bernardino County – recognizing the full extent of the harm caused by the defendant’s negligence. If you suffered a broken bone or other injury on someone else’s property in San Bernardino or anywhere in California, Feher Law can help you pursue fair compensation.
