Apartment stairwell fall
Premises-liability recovery for a tenant injured in a fall on a poorly maintained apartment stairwell.
Our client was injured in a fall on a poorly maintained stairwell at their apartment complex, where a known hazard had gone unrepaired. The property’s insurer disputed responsibility and the seriousness of the injury.
We documented the condition of the stairwell, the complex’s awareness of the problem, and the full extent of our client’s injury and treatment, holding the property owner accountable for failing to keep the premises safe.
The claim resolved for $185,000.
