$225,000 recovered for a woman who slipped on ice in Bangor, Maine!
The apartment owner's insurance company payed $225,000 because the owner did not maintain its property in a reasonable way.
The owner failed to fix a gutter downspout, which caused rain and winter run-off to collect on a walkway and freeze again-and-again during winter.
The walkway was the only access for our client to get from her apartment to her car to go to work.
Our client suffered an ankle fracture that caused her to need surgery and miss work. The insurance company denied liability, saying the owner was not at fault. We filed a lawsuit to prove the insurance company wrong.
After deposing the owner, learning how poorly he maintaned the property for his tenants and how poorly he kept records, the insurance changed its mind and agreed to pay fair value.
