Confidential Pedestrian Trip & Fall Settlement

Raphaelson and Levine went beyond the borders of New York State to obtain justice for a pedestrian who tripped and fell, breaking her foot in a parking lot in New Jersey. The property owner took the position that it lacked any notice of the dangerous condition that caused our client’s fall. We argued aggressively that the property owner knew about the dangerous condition—a pothole in a parking space—and failed to take any action to repair or warn of the defect. Through an effective argument, we were able to establish that our client was entitled to compensation and the case was settled with the property owner in under eight months without the need to file a lawsuit.
