Our client was walking down a stairwell outside her mother’s apartment building, when the metal edging came loose, and she tumbled down to the bottom. She required a lumbar fusion surgery, which was ultimately successful in relieving her low back pain. During discovery our litigation team uncovered evidence that the apartment management knew about these problematic steps and failed to find a permanent and safe fix. The insurance company attorneys attempted to blame our client’s injuries on her weight and genetic/hereditary disorders of the spine. Just one week before trial, the insurance company finally folded to our demands.
