Resident Awarded $1 Million for Fall at Apartment
This is a settlement for the Personal Injury lawsuit.
St. Lucie County, FL: A woman who fell down four stairs outside her apartment because the handrail attached to the stairs allegedly detached when she was on the stairs, has been awarded $1 million by the jury hearing her case.
in 2007, Margo Nickerson, 32-years old at the time, fell and sustained lumbar and cervical herniations as a result. She subsequently underwent a cervical fusion and a lumbar discectomy.
In her suit, Ms. Nickerson alleged that the 4-foot-long wooden handrail wasn't properly bolted to the stairs. She claimed that she previously complained to the property manager about the handrail, but he didn't do anything to remedy the situation.
