Hollywood Boardwalk Rollerblading Fall

$50,000 Recovery for Hollywood Boardwalk Rollerblading Fall

The Problem

Our client was rollerblading with her daughter along the Hollywood Beach Boardwalk, enjoying a sunny day by the ocean. Suddenly, a construction crew with a large excavator entered the pedestrian walkway without proper warning or safeguards.

The busy conditions left our client with no safe path to avoid the heavy machinery. Forced to make a split-second decision, she veered toward the beach, lost her balance, and fell — resulting in a painful injury that disrupted her daily life.

When she pursued a claim, the construction company denied liability, arguing they were not responsible for the incident.

Our Approach

Jimenez Legal was retained to hold the company accountable. Our attorneys:

• Investigated the scene and documented the lack of proper safety barriers or warnings
• Filed a lawsuit against the construction company to force accountability
• Deposed key witnesses and obtained evidence showing that the crew failed to implement necessary pedestrian safety precautions
• Maintained intense litigation pressure until the defendant faced significant risk at trial

The Result

The case ultimately resolved with a $50,000 settlement, compensating our client for her medical bills, pain, and suffering — and holding the construction company accountable for their lack of safety planning.

Key Takeaway

Construction companies performing work in public areas must implement safety measures to protect pedestrians. Failure to do so can result in liability for injuries.
