$170,000 Slip and Fall Settlement in the Bronx

Our client, a Bronx resident, slipped and fell inside her apartment after water discharged from a malfunctioning radiator. The dangerous condition had persisted for months — despite her repeated complaints to building management, the landlord failed to make necessary repairs.

The fall left her with injuries to her head, neck, both shoulders, and right hand. She required extensive medical treatment and physical therapy, struggling to perform everyday tasks and care for her family while dealing with chronic pain. The physical limitations forced her to miss work and rely on others for basic daily activities.

Despite clear evidence of the landlord's negligence, the property management company and their insurance carrier initially denied responsibility, claiming our client was at fault for her own injuries. This is a common tactic used by insurance companies to minimize payouts to injured tenants.

Our Bronx slip and fall attorneys launched a thorough investigation, documenting the maintenance history and gathering evidence of the landlord's failure to address the hazardous condition. We obtained records showing repeated complaints from our client and other tenants about similar issues in the building, establishing a clear pattern of neglect.

Raphaelson & Levine secured a $170,000 settlement for a Bronx tenant seriously injured due to her landlord's failure to repair a leaking radiator.

This settlement provides compensation for her medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering — holding the negligent landlord accountable for putting tenants at risk. The recovery allows our client to focus on her continued healing without the financial burden of mounting bills.
