Attorney Ryder Haag has secured a $389,000 settlement in a highly contested premises liability case that many believed would be extremely difficult to win.
The case, Augustine Azure, involved a client who suffered serious injuries after a glass shower door unexpectedly exploded at a local upscale hotel. Despite the client’s past medical expenses totaling approximately $18,000, Ryder’s relentless advocacy resulted in a recovery worth more than 20 times those medical costs.
The case presented significant legal challenges from the outset. One of the biggest hurdles was proving the hotel had notice of the dangerous condition, as there had been no known prior incidents involving shower doors at the property or any affiliated hotels.
Rather than accepting those obstacles, Ryder committed to building the strongest case possible. He located a qualified expert who conducted a full reconstruction of the shattered shower door and produced a comprehensive expert report exceeding 100 pages. Throughout litigation, Ryder successfully argued multiple motions to compel, aggressively pursued discovery, and conducted depositions that significantly strengthened the client’s case.
His persistence, meticulous preparation, and skilled advocacy ultimately transformed a difficult claim into an exceptional result for his client.
This outstanding recovery was also made possible through the contributions of Monica Duran and Cass Williams, whose dedication and teamwork helped support the case from beginning to end.
