Trip & Fall – Neck & Back Injury Settlement

In Lorinda Chou v. DEER USA Inc., the plaintiff brought a premises liability lawsuit in Riverside County, California, after suffering neck and back injuries in a trip and fall accident on a commercial property. The case centered on the property owner’s failure to maintain a reasonably safe environment and their negligent disregard for a hazardous condition that posed a foreseeable risk of injury to all visitors.

Neck and back injuries from falls can be serious and long-lasting, often requiring chiropractic care, physical therapy, pain management, orthopedic consultation, or surgical intervention. In Ms. Chou’s case, the injuries required ongoing medical treatment and significantly impacted her daily activities and quality of life in Riverside County. Under California premises liability law, commercial property owners have an affirmative duty to inspect their premises, identify dangerous conditions, and either repair them or warn visitors of the risk.

After trial in Riverside County, the jury returned a verdict of approximately $1,117,515.68 in favor of Ms. Chou, holding DEER USA Inc. accountable for the negligent maintenance of their property and the neck and back injuries caused.
