Our client, an elderly lady, tripped over a sidewalk that was raised higher than other sections due to negligent maintenance. This fall led to many serious injuries, including a brain bleed, 4 broken ribs, a knee injury, a hematoma behind her intestines near her right kidney, and dementia symptoms.
Since the injuries were so severe, we demanded the full policy limits of the homeowner who maintained the sidewalk to cover medical expenses and other losses. Our client received the policy limits in a $300,000 settlement.
