Client Success Story

Peter L. Johnston, Esquire recovers $45,000 for a Philadelphia man who suffers debilitating shoulder injury while walking in a municipal playground. The municipality had failed to adequately secure a utility hole cover causing man to fall into the hole when he stepped in it. In addition, the hole was concealed from view by overgrown grass surrounding it. The man, a late middle-aged military veteran, injured his right shoulder after landing hard on it and significantly aggravated prior lower back and neck injuries. The shoulder injury was diagnosed as a torn rotator cuff. Fortunately, surgery was not necessary but, nevertheless, the accident caused constant pain, significant medical bills and a diminution of his lifestyle. Mr. Johnston was able to recover for him sufficient money to pay his bills and award him for his pain and suffering.
