Case Details
A realtor in her late 50’s had an accident when she was showing a house and the exterior wooded stairs broke underneath her feet. She was aware of the problem and advised the homeowner to have the stairs fixed prior to the accident. She fractured her ankle and had two surgeries. She returned to work as a realtor and only missed about a year of work. Her average income was about $30,000 per year.
Additional Notes
Allstate tendered their primary homeowner’s insurance policy of $300,000 and Liberty Mutual contributed another $100,000 to the settlement as the excess insurance company. The case settled shortly after plaintiff testified for $400,000, one of the highest settlements in Dutchess County for this kind of injury.
