Free Consultation Available 24/7
$430,000 negotiated at private mediation for a 45 year old Trinidadian woman who slipped in a public stairwell at her apartment building. Although the stairs were in mint condition, our engineer opined that the floor tiles were damp, they failed to have an adequate co-efficient of friction and there was no banister to grab to prevent a fall, allowing us to defeat defendant’s motion for summary judgment. The plaintiff suffered a tri-malleolar fracture in her right leg, requiring an open reduction with internal fixation repair, and second procedure to remove the hardware and a third surgery to correct an equinus deformity that developed in the ankle.

You don’t have to go through this alone. Our team is here to listen, guide, and fight for you.
