Serious Personal Injury – Premises Liability Case Involving Destroyed Evidence
In this video interview produced by DK Global, Matt Menzer discusses a serious personal injury and premises liability case involving a mother who was walking on a public sidewalk with her family when a dangerously rotted large palm tree on hotel property collapsed onto the walkway. The top of the tree struck the mother, pinning her to the ground and causing catastrophic injuries. She was placed in a medically induced coma and underwent seven major surgeries. While she ultimately survived, the incident left her permanently disabled and forever changed the lives of her and her family.
Menzer Law Group partnered with Jacob Lowenthal of Lowenthal & Lowenthal to represent the victim and her family. In the aftermath of the incident, the defendants took steps to destroy critical evidence in an apparent effort to avoid accountability for their negligence. Despite these actions, the case ultimately resolved through a confidential settlement, holding the defendants accountable for unsafe property conditions and achieving meaningful justice and significant financial compensation for the family.
Through extensive investigation, expert analysis, and strategic use of visual evidence – including forensic animation and visual reconstruction created by DK Global – our team was able to uncover the facts, establish liability, and demonstrate how the defendants’ conduct directly caused this preventable harm.
The video interview highlights how visual tools played a key role in clearly and persuasively presenting complex evidence, exposing wrongdoing, and ensuring the full consequences of the defendants’ negligence were understood by the defendants and their insurers. DK Global also published an article discussing this case, which you can read here.
