$195,000 For Woman Who Tripped On Street Defect

Schulman Blitz, LLP settled a case for a woman who was injured when she tripped and fell on a defect in the street that was emanating from a manhole cover owned by ConEd. Under the law, ConEd is responsible for maintaining the street within 12 inches of the manhole cover. Our client fractured her wrist and had surgery.

We settled the case with the attorneys for ConEd shortly before the trial was scheduled to begin for $195,000.
