Trip & Fall – Permanent Nerve Damage Settlement

Our client was a young child who tripped and fell while visiting a zoo in California, suffering a facial laceration and permanent nerve damage as a result of the accident. Injuries sustained by children in premises liability cases are particularly significant because they can carry lifelong consequences – permanent nerve damage to the face can affect sensation, expression, and self-confidence throughout an entire lifetime.

Zoo operators and recreational facility operators in California have a duty of care to all visitors, including children, to maintain safe premises free from unreasonable hazards. When a child is injured due to an unsafe condition on a property, the owner can be held fully liable for all past and future damages – including the permanent nature of injuries that will affect the child for decades to come.

Feher Law pursued a premises liability claim on behalf of the child and family, securing a $1,150,000 settlement that accounted for medical expenses, treatment costs, and critically – the permanent nerve damage and its lifelong impact on the child. If your child was injured due to unsafe conditions at a zoo, recreational facility, or any property in California, contact Feher Law to understand your legal rights.
