Ron Goldfaden's teenage client was seriously injured roller blading when unable to stop at bottom of hill. Mr. Goldfaden won $750,000 settlement from roller blade maker, on basis of defective product.

Attorney - Ronald P. Goldfaden
Spring 1999

In 1994, the client, a then 17-year-old high school student, was engaged in his favorite outdoor activity: roller blading. That morning, he had replaced the worn rear brake pad with a new one. As he skated down a steep hill, the new brake pad fell apart and failed to stop his descent. He went through a stop sign and was struck by a passing car.
Blume, Goldfaden attorney Ron Goldfaden hired a metallurgist to examine the roller blades worn by the student. The metallurgical expert was able to pinpoint the manufacturing defect that caused the brand-new brake pad to literally disintegrate.
The teenager struck by the car suffered compound fractures to both legs and was in danger of having to undergo a leg amputation. After multiple operations, he has permanent injuries and scarring.
On behalf of his young client, Mr. Goldfaden obtained a $750,000 settlement from the manufacturer.
