Learn More About Who We Are

A vacationer fell down the stairs of a rented beach house in the Myrtle Beach area and suffered multiple leg fractures. Kinon Law Firm recovered $2.26 million, one of the largest trip-and-fall settlements in Grand Strand history.

What Happened

While on vacation in the Myrtle Beach area, our client fell down the stairs at a rented beach house. The fall caused multiple leg fractures, required numerous surgeries, and resulted in substantial medical bills.

Who We Held Responsible

Our firm made claims against two parties: the owner of the beach house and the rental company that managed and marketed it.

Proving the Stairs Were Defective

We proved the stairs were defective in two ways. They gave no warning about a substantial change in elevation, and they did not meet the necessary building codes and industry standards.

The Result

After extensive discovery and litigation, we recovered $2.26 million for our client.

If You Were Hurt on Vacation

Tourists injured at rental properties, hotels, and attractions along the Grand Strand have the same right to pursue compensation as residents. Contact Kinon Law Firm for a free consultation.

Every case is different. Results depend on the specific facts and circumstances of each case, and past results do not guarantee a similar outcome in any other matter.
