Suit Filed for Grandmother Crushed by Refrigerator

Arnold & Itkin has filed suit on behalf of a grandmother whose refrigerator fell on her due to the negligence of a home builder and other involved companies.

Our client, who runs a charity that sells hospital patient artwork and uses the proceeds for charitable purposes, was looking forward to enjoying her dream home. But the home builder didn’t ensure the job was finished, failing to properly install the refrigerator’s anti-tip hardware.

When the refrigerator fell on her, our client was lucky to escape with her life. She suffered serious injuries to her neck and back, most notably to three discs in her spine.

“It shocks me how little thought companies give to the serious risks of injuries their negligence creates. The defendants in this lawsuit had multiple opportunities to fix a dangerous condition in someone's home,” our catastrophic injury attorneys said in a statement. “Apparently, keeping our client from serious injury just wasn't a priority for them.”

This suit was filed in Harris County, Texas.
