Defective Product and Defective Design – Personal Injury

Settlement during litigation at mediation for a 33-year-old man who was seriously injured when the bucket lift he was using to change streetlight bulbs in a Wal-Mart parking lot collapsed causing a 35-foot fall. The client sustained multiple fractures in his back that required surgical placement of rods, multiple rib fractures and flail chest, pelvic fracture, and a lacerated liver (Catawba County, 2015).
