Case Summary
$300K settlement for a 72-year-old woman who tripped and fell on a broken sidewalk in Brooklyn and injured her foot and wrist. The defendants argued that they were not responsible because the defect was “de minimis” and also “open and obvious,” thus rendering the accident the plaintiff’s fault for not looking where she was walking. Mr. Lundy was able to overcome these problematic issues by conducting thorough depositions of the property owner and tenants who conducted business at the accident location. Ultimately, the defendants agreed to pay the sum of $300,000 to resolve this matter.
