The plaintiff claimed five broken ribs and a compression fracture in his back from the fall. In addition to the medical bills, the plaintiff also claimed substantial lost wages. After three days of testimony, the jury returned a verdict for Young Clement Rivers’ client and found that the client was not negligent in the construction of the railing system.
