Car Loses Control in Parking Lot and Crashed Through Building

An elderly lady was waiting in the lobby of a commercial building when a car crashed through the window, hitting her in the back with such force that her shoes came off. The impact resulted in traumatic brain injury and multiple fractures throughout her body. Initially, the building designer & its insurance company refused to pay for her injuries, arguing that the incident was unforeseeable. However, though thorough investigation and depositions, Mr Amendt was able to reveal that the designer had failed to consider the risk of out-of-control cars in the adjacent parking lot and did not install necessary barriers to protect the building and its occupants. Despite the building designer’s claims, it was proven that such accidents are common and foreseeable, leading to the woman’s successful settlement.

Challenge Course Held Liable Despite Signed Waiver

In a significant case managed by Los Angeles personal injury attorney Christian Amendt, a woman was severely injured during an adventure course accident, despite having signed a liability waiver. The incident involved gross negligence when the crew prematurely stopped the woman on the course, causing her to slide backward. They then released another participant too early, leading to a collision at 10-15 mph. The woman suffered multiple serious injuries, including a broken arm, nerve damage, and PTSD. Mr. Amendt successfully argued that the waiver was void due to gross negligence, securing a $450,000 settlement. This case underscores the importance of safety and accountability in recreational challenge activities.

Car accident results in undiagnosed serious rotator cuff injury

A car accident victim faced an inadequate initial settlement offer of $3,000 from his insurance company, which failed to account for the true severity of his injuries. The victim complained of shoulder pain, but had not sought out medical help. Feeling that the insurance company was not taking him seriously, he consulted Los Angeles-based injury attorney Christian Amendt. Mr. Amendt personally conducted a series of detailed range-of-motion tests and discovered a high probability that it was a significant rotator cuff tear, not just a minor sprain as initially thought. His suspicions were confirmed by thorough analysis by doctors. Armed with this critical medical evidence, Mr. Amendt negotiated a settlement of $250,000, highlighting the essential role of experienced legal representation in securing fair compensation for injury victims.

Bad Lighting Caused Trip and Fall With Severe Injury

A visitor to an apartment building tripped and fell in the parking lot due to burned-out lights that were supposed to illuminate the area, but had not been replaced. The fall occurred in the handicapped parking space, which was improperly designed, with the tire stop, blue lines, curb height, and ramps not following handicap space rules. The visitor tripped over the tire stop, which was not visible because of the darkness. It resulted in a severe wrist fracture that required surgery with metal implants. Initially the insurance company refused to pay anything, but Mr Amendt and his team did a thorough investigation. They took pictures at night that clearly showed the poorly lit handicapped space compared to the well-lit adjacent areas. After seeing these photos and other evidence the insurance company agreed to pay out on the victims claim.

Unsafe Bus Stop Causes Woman to Fall and Break Foot While Getting Out

In a Southern California college campus incident, a petite female student suffered a severe broken foot while getting off the campus bus. The bus had stopped misaligned with the curb. Because of the bus’s failure to align with the 8-inch curb, the step down off the bus was 20 inches, nearly 3 times the height of a normal step. This led to severe injury requiring surgery and extended therapy. Classified as a “common carrier,” the campus transport bus was liable for any negligence. Initially offered a $30,000 settlement, the student, represented by Mr. Amendt, secured the maximum policy limit of $100,000. This case highlights the critical importance of safety protocols in public transportation services.
