ViKing Law Secures $2 Million Settlement for Philadelphia Trip-and-Fall Victim

On Behalf of | Sep 2, 2026 | Firm News

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – ViKing Law is proud to announce a $2 million settlement on behalf of a 68-year-old woman who suffered serious injuries in a trip-and-fall incident inside an establishment in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The fall resulted in significant orthopedic injuries that dramatically affected our client’s mobility and quality of life. She suffered a fractured hip and fractured foot and ultimately required revision surgery involving existing knee hardware.

A Serious Fall With Life-Changing Consequences

For an older adult, a fall can have devastating consequences. What may appear to be a simple trip can result in fractures, surgery, lengthy rehabilitation, and significant limitations on a person’s ability to live independently.

In this case, our client’s injuries required extensive medical treatment and a long road to recovery. The physical consequences of the fall were compounded by the challenges associated with undergoing additional surgery involving her knee hardware.

ViKing Law thoroughly investigated the circumstances surrounding the incident, developed the evidence necessary to establish liability, and aggressively pursued full compensation for our client’s injuries and losses.

Fighting for Full and Fair Compensation

Premises liability cases can be challenging. Property and business owners may dispute responsibility for an accident or argue that an injured person was responsible for her own fall. Establishing liability requires a careful examination of the conditions that caused the incident, the property owner or establishment’s responsibilities, and the evidence surrounding the accident.

ViKing Law understands the importance of conducting a comprehensive investigation from the beginning of a premises liability case. This can include examining the location where the incident occurred, identifying dangerous or defective conditions, preserving evidence, reviewing photographs and surveillance footage, interviewing witnesses, and obtaining the medical evidence necessary to document the full extent of a client’s injuries.

Our goal is not simply to establish that an accident occurred. Our goal is to make sure our clients receive the compensation they deserve for the full impact of their injuries.

$2 Million Settlement

After aggressively pursuing our client’s claim, ViKing Law obtained a $2 million settlement on her behalf.

This recovery reflects the seriousness of our client’s injuries and the significant impact the fall had on her life.

At ViKing Law, we believe that injured people deserve experienced advocates who will take the time to understand what happened, investigate the evidence, and fight for the compensation they are entitled to receive.
