Our client suffered a thoracic spinal fracture&#13;<br \/>\nafter falling on black ice on concrete steps. The premises owner&#13;<br \/>\nhad failed to salt or sand the steps despite rain and freezing&#13;<br \/>\ntemperatures the night before the incident. The injury required&#13;<br \/>\nsurgery and the installation of hardware in her back. When that&#13;<br \/>\nhardware later failed, she underwent a second surgery, and&#13;<br \/>\nextensive physical therapy.<\/p>\n<p>Despite significant challenges to the liability portion of the&#13;<br \/>\ncase, our team prevailed by leveraging photographic evidence and&#13;<br \/>\ndeposition testimony demonstrating that the premises owner had&#13;<br \/>\nprior notice of the dangerous conditions and failed to act. While&#13;<br \/>\nour client continues to live with hardware in her back, the nearly&#13;<br \/>\nhalf-million dollar settlement provides meaningful compensation and&#13;<br \/>\na path forward from an unexpected and life-altering ordeal.<\/p>\n<p>Shareholder and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shulmanrogers.com\/personalservices\/personal-injury\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Personal Injury<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shulmanrogers.com\/personalservices\/medical-malpractice-law\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Medical Malpractice<\/a> Group Chair <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shulmanrogers.com\/attorneys\/michael-v-nakamura\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Mike Nakamura<\/a> led the matter with Jessica&#13;<br \/>\nBaker, serving as lead paralegal.
