Premises Liability – Broken Foot & Traumatic Brain Injury Settlement

In Howard v. Knolls Medical Center Partnership, the plaintiff brought a premises liability lawsuit in San Bernardino, California, after suffering serious and disabling injuries on the property of a medical facility. The case focused on the property owner’s failure to maintain a reasonably safe environment – a duty that carries particular weight at a medical facility where vulnerable patients and visitors are routinely present.

As a result of the incident, the plaintiff sustained both a broken foot and a traumatic brain injury – requiring significant medical treatment, rehabilitation, and long-term care. A traumatic brain injury at a medical facility is especially alarming, as these venues should be among the safest environments available to patients and the people who care for them. The lawsuit alleged negligence and the property owner’s failure to address or warn of the hazardous condition that directly caused these injuries in San Bernardino County.

After trial, the jury returned a verdict of approximately $1.8 million in favor of the plaintiff, holding Knolls Medical Center Partnership fully accountable for the dangerous conditions on their property and the serious harm caused.
