Premises Liability July 22, 2009
Our client was taking a short walk around her office building when she slipped and fell in the parking lot. A lawsuit was required as the owner of the property that failed to maintain the property denied any wrong doing. During litigation, the owner of the property continued to maintain that they were not responsible. After taking several depositions of the employees with knowledge about the condition of the property to include the owner and the maintenance people, it was learned that the problem area had been present for many,many months prior to our client's fall and the owner failed to do anything to correct the problem. Mr. DeLattre also discovered that a reason for the delay in fixing the problem was related to the cost of correcting the problem.
