Child Slip and Fall Accident
A Bronx child tripped over her own feet, and landed on a broken tile in the hallway of her aunt’s apartment complex. The only injury was a scar on the left knee. The superintendent of the building admitted that he knew of the broken tile and was not sure why it had never been fixed. The child was only 3 years old at the time of the accident, and had just turned 6 when the case went to trial. The case settled after a jury had been selected, and the parties were about to commence opening statements.
