The Cochran Firm Legal Blog

Cameron Thomas was awarded almost $860,000 in a premises liability lawsuit related to a fall he suffered at a sleepover in 2004. At the time of the accident, Thomas was 10 years old. He fell from the top bunk bed during a sleepover with his friend. As a result of the accident, Thomas suffered a brain injury which has led to the development of learning disabilities and behavioral problems.

The bunk bed responsible for the fall was missing its guard rail and ladder. The parents of Thomas' friend claim that they removed the guard rail because it broke. The court found them guilty of negligence in failing to make the necessary repairs to ensure that the bunk bed was safe. The damage award is intended to compensate Thomas for past and future medical expenses and loss of future earning capacity.
