Our client was walking to the parking lot of her apartment complex early one morning when she slipped on an icy sidewalk and fell, resulting in a broken ankle. The area had been poorly maintained, snow was only partially shoveled, and no salt or sand had been applied to prevent ice buildup. The accident required ankle surgery.
Before hiring our firm, she tried to handle the claim herself but was repeatedly ignored and dismissed by the property management company. After we took her case, we confronted the insurer, who tried to place fault on our client.
Through diligent investigation and advocacy, we demonstrated the property owner’s negligence in failing to maintain safe walkways. The case ultimately settled for $190,000, providing our client with the compensation she deserved for her pain, medical costs, and recovery.
“Everyone should feel safe in their home. We take on negligent property owners.”
- Attorney Patrick Carney
