Case Details
Client who was injured in a slip and fall accident at an outlet shopping plaza in Jackson, New Jersey. The substantial jury award stems from a case in which Kim’s client slipped and fell on ice on a sidewalk at the Jackson Premium Outlets, an outlet shopping center in Jackson Township, New Jersey. Upon investigation, it was discovered the ice had been a long-standing problem, and was caused by a leaky soffit which the defendants ignored and failed to fix. As a result of her slip and fall, our client suffered a hip fracture which was initially treated using three medical-grade screws. However, ongoing pain necessitated removal of the screws, and our firm’s client underwent a hip replacement surgery. Unfortunately, the outcome of that procedure was not as anticipated, and our client was unable to return to work.
Additional Notes
Handled by Kimberly Gozsa. Damages awarded by the jury totaled $3,223,580 and will be reduced by 15 percent due to the plaintiff’s comparative negligence. A post-judgment hearing will also be conducted to mold the verdict to include the medical comp lien, which totals $186,865.40. Ranked #13 in Top 100 verdicts in New Jersey for 2019.
