Premises liability – defective pedestrian path

Settlement after discovery for woman who suffered a displaced ankle fracture requiring multiple surgeries while walking on a worn path at an office building in Cambridge. During the case, the defendant property owner and property management company claimed to have no knowledge of the existence of the defective and dangerous path on the property. SUGARMAN’s attorneys, however, were able to demonstrate that the path had long been on the property such that the defendants should have known about it and that the defendants failed to take any steps to remedy or improve the path until after the incident.
