Orthopedic Injury

The plaintiff was injured during an employer-sponsored team-building exercise at the defendant’s mountain camp. The plaintiff suffered back injuries after participating in a “low ropes” course.

The plaintiff alleged that the course was poorly supervised and that plaintiff’s group received very little training on how to navigate the course.

The defendant claimed that the plaintiff was not hurt at its camp, and it was not responsible for the injuries, because the plaintiff did not immediately complain that he was hurt, and there were no witnesses to the specific injury-causing event.

The defendant’s employee made a sudden U-turn while driving a company truck and collided with the plaintiff’s Porsche. The plaintiff suffered a traumatic brain injury and broken leg. The plaintiff had no memory of the accident.
