Young Man Who Fell Through Roof and Broke Spine Reaches Confidential Settlement

See How Attorney Mitchell Ludwig Won a Difficult Case for his Client using MotionLit Settlement Video and 3D Animation Reconstruction 

Attorney Mitchell Ludwig of Knapp, Peterson, and Clarke secured a victory for his client who fell through a poorly maintained skylight while sitting on a roof to enjoy the stars with his girlfriend. 

The plaintiff, a young man pursing his dreams of becoming a comedian and succeeding, was enjoying a late evening with his girlfriend when they decided to go up to the publicly accessible, community rooftop of their apartment. They leaned against an elevated skylight to look up at the stars when it shattered, sending them both 15 feet down onto the stairwell below. The plaintiff’s spinal cord was severed and he was paralyzed from the waist down. 

MotionLit prepared a compelling and comprehensive Settlement Video that chronicled every injury and every medical treatment that followed, including the many complications that led to pressure wounds, surgical site complications, and a bout of meningitis that would require brain surgery. The Settlement Video also included a 3D Animated Reconstruction of the event itself in exacting detail, showing how the rooftop was accessible and poorly maintained, without any signage or warning regarding the weak state of the elevated skylight. This evidence combined and presented visually led to the case’s eventual settling out of court.
