Publicist Secures $560,000 Settlement Following Fall on Icy Steps

---

Our client, a prominent publicist, recently faced a serious injury while retrieving her dog

from a sitter's residence in downtown New York. Having just returned from a vacation,

she encountered black ice on the steps leading to the building. Despite it having

stopped snowing nearly 48 hours prior, the building's management failed to properly

maintain the area, neglecting to clear the ice or apply salt.

As a result, our client slipped on the untreated steps, suffering a severe ankle fracture.

This injury required an open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) surgery and months of

intensive physical therapy. Unfortunately, the lasting effects of the fracture restricted her

ability to wear high heels and caused long-term limitations.

Blitz Law Group filed a lawsuit against the building owners, asserting that their

negligence directly caused our client's injuries. After several years of complex litigation,

we successfully secured a $560,000 settlement for our client just before the trial was

set to begin.
