Plaintiff made a demand of $124,999 which has expired.
• Plaintiff fell off the stairs leading to the backdoor of her apartment because the landlord failed to provide any lighting in the dark alleyway where the unsafe narrow landing was located. Plaintiff suffered two deep cuts on her right arm which lead to permanent nerve damage.
• Plaintiff was starting her first semester at college, and moved in to a private but dorm-like complex. Plaintiff contends that as a result of poor drainage in the garage immediately and directly below her unit, there was mold in her unit causing her inter alia to suffer from headaches, rashes, digestive issues, sleep issues, congestion, shortness of breath, etc. In addition to this alleged physical condition, which the landlord denied, Plaintiff contended that the management company was negligent in its handling of the issue, allegedly being either untimely in their responses or unresponsive, and that the remedial measure completed were incomplete and not done consistent with the standard of care. Defendant dispute medical causation and damages.
• Plaintiff lived in a rental unit about a commercially zoned shop. As she was walking up the exterior stairs leading up to her unit, she slipped and fell near the top of the stairs and in an attempt to prevent her fall she grabbed onto some wooden lattice structure that was fixed to the handrails. Plaintiff alleges that the wooden lattice structure was lose and defective and had it been properly fixed to the metal railings, then she would have been able to prevent her fall or at the very least minimize the injury suffered. Plaintiff contended that the landlord and/or the property manager had both actual and constructive notice of the defective railings (including the lattice structure). Plaintiff had multiple CT scans for her cervical and lumbar spine, suffered soft tissue injuries, and incurred approx. $10,000 in medical bills arising from chiropractic care, some diagnostics/imaging work, as well as several orthopedic consultations. Defense argued open and obvious defect, plaintiff’s notice of the alleged condition, as well as comparative fault. Plaintiff's opening demand was $150,000.
