$400,000 Settlement
Our client, a hard-working young woman, was attending a real estate office on a winter evening when she slipped and fell on slippery and unmaintained steps. As a result of the fall, she suffered a severe fracture of her left wrist, requiring multiple surgeries and resulting in chronic pain and disability. The lawsuit against the owner of the property and the winter maintenance company was settled at a pre-trial mediation for more than $400,000.
