Slip and fall on ice; settlement $175,000

Our client slipped and fell on ice on the steps of her rented apartment, hitting her back against the concrete steps. Her physician discovered two herniated disks in her neck and despite two operations, she was left with a permanent impairment and $32,000 in medical bills. For years the landlord’s insurance company placed blame for the accident on our client and refused to settle. One week prior to trial the case settled for $175,000.
