Leg Fracture While Horse Back Riding Leads to Settlement
In June of 2006, Matthew L. Williams obtained a $285,000 settlement on behalf of Rachel Laxner who suffered orthopedic injuries while riding a horse. On August 20, 2005, Rachel Laxner was on the horse when it unexpectedly reared up on its hind legs and fell back causing a compound fracture of the left femur. She went through several surgical procedures to stabilize the fracture and to repair lacerations with skin grafts.
