Examples Of Slip-And-Fall Cases
Slip And Fall On Ice
In a slip and fall on ice, the attorneys at Jaroslawicz & Jaros were successful in the case of Hecht v. City of New York, 02 Civ. 4029 (JGK) (JCF) United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. In a negligence claim for falling on ice, the court found it survived summary judgment because the evidence established that the building superintendent attached a hose to a water spigot, left the water in the “on” position, and did not advise the resident that it was necessary to turn the water off to prevent the hose from icing and bursting.
Settlement For Client Injured At Health Club
Jaroslawicz & Jaros was successful in the case of Kaplan v. Lucille Roberts Health Clubs Inc., Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department 63 A.D.3d 470 (2009), 880 N.Y.S.2d 284. The court decided that there were issues of fact as to whether the plaintiff, a paying member at the club, was limited to choosing among defective step-aerobic boards supplied by the club for participation in a club-sponsored class, and whether defendants had notice that a fair number of those boards allegedly lacked stabilizing bottom grips. Factual issues exist as to whether the absence of these grips unreasonably increased the risk of use of the boards, whether this risk was apparent to the plaintiff and whether it proximately caused her injury. Jaroslawicz & Jaros then proceeded to obtaining a substantial settlement for this client.
