Failure to sand and salt caused fracture after fall
In this case our client suffered a fracture’s arm due to a fall.
Our client lived in a condominium complex. The walkway to her unit included an area of sidewalk where there was poor drainage and water collected. In the cold weather this area froze.
Our client slipped and fell down on the snow covered ice on the sidewalk which had not been shoveled or sanded. The owner of the property is reasonsible to keep the property in a reasonable state of repair and it must be safe for walker. Here since it had snowed, the owner was responsible to remove the snow and to sand and salt the sidewalk.
She fell and the fall caused her to sustain severe fractures of her wrist and elbow.
This case settled prior to trial.
O’Connor v. Windin Hollow Owner’s Assoc. was the name of the case.
