$125,000 Premises Liability Lawsuit Settlement for Hand and Tendon Injuries in Fort Lauderdale

A hotel guest received a $125,000 payout after suffering a severe hand injury due to a dangerous condition at a Fort Lauderdale Beach hotel. The incident occurred when the client was preparing to take a shower in his hotel room. The moment he touched the handle to open the sliding shower door, the glass instantly and completely shattered, spraying dangerous shards of glass both inside and outside the shower area.

The client was rushed to the hospital with a large, gaping laceration over his left hand. Under local anesthetic, his wound was irrigated and sutured, and an initial evaluation revealed a severe laceration of the extensor tendon on his left small finger. After returning home from his trip, he consulted a hand surgeon who confirmed the extensor tendon injury and recommended immediate surgical intervention.

To repair the extensive damage, the client underwent a complex surgery that included a left small finger irrigation and debridement, an EDQ opponensplasty, and small finger EDC extensor tendon repairs. These painful injuries significantly impaired the client’s daily life, household activities, and the overall use of his hand. The $125,000 lawsuit settlement achieved by our Fort Lauderdale personal injury lawyers allowed the victim to cover his emergency hospital bills, surgical costs, and continue his recovery without facing financial strain.
