Tenant breaks ankle after failure to treat ice

Pre-trial settlement for resident of apartment complex who slipped and fell on black ice while trying to make her way to her car on the South Shore of Massachusetts. The defendant property owner and the contractor it hired to perform snow and ice work at the property failed to monitor for winter weather events and failed to apply salt to the walkways despite the forecast calling for freezing rain in the hours leading up the plaintiff’s fall. The plaintiff underwent two surgeries to repair her ankle.
