April 4, 2022 in Negligence, Personal Injury
In March of 2022, Personal Injury Partner Mark Apostolos secured a $750,000 settlement for a woman who tripped and fell on the defendant’s premises.
Plaintiff Suffers a Fall Due to Unsafe Conditions
The plaintiff was walking on the defendant’s property when she tripped and fell due to unsafe conditions. Because of the fall, the plaintiff’s preexisting back and neck injuries were exacerbated, which required her to undergo multiple surgeries.
The defendant argued that the area was in a reasonably safe condition and that the plaintiff tripped and fell because she was not paying attention to her surroundings. However, we claimed that the plaintiff was indeed exercising caution and attentiveness on the defendant’s premises before she fell due to the unsafe condition.
