Successfully Navigating Your Situation 

An excellent case study that we successfully litigated for $1.1 million occurred after a woman went to her hair salon and a cabinet hit her head. This cabinet was poorly secured to the wall and the location’s owner did not take proper action to fasten it correctly. Our client experienced a head injury and other trauma due to this horrific accident.

David, as a well-regarded premises liability attorney in Delray Beach, and Zappitell Law Firm as a team, worked tirelessly to earn a verdict that awarded our client much-needed closure, which she is grateful for. Below are many different types of premises liability situations we can help you with. This example is one of numerous great outcomes we have been fortunate to have for our clients over many years.
