The firm's client, a 47 year-old male, slipped and fell on a public sidewalk in the Bronx. It had snowed 4-5 days prior to the date of the accident and the sidewalk was covered with ice. The client claimed that the city owned the adjacent parking lot and allegedly did nothing to prevent cars from riding over the sidewalk and parking the lot, which resulted in a ridge on the sidewalk creating dangerous conditions for pedestrians. The client suffered a lumbar fracture and a herniated disc. The jury found the city liable and awarded the client $2,995,000.00.
