Snover v. William Penn Apartment Assocs., et al,. Del.Super.

FREDRICK S. FREIBOTT recently secured a large verdict in a slip and fall trial. A jury returned a verdict of $500,000.00, reduced by the client’s comparative negligence, in a case where his client, a tenant at a commercial apartment complex, slipped and fell on ice that was not removed by the landlord. The client sustained severe injuries to her leg necessitating three surgical procedures. The defendant’s property manager testified that he was not aware of certain ice removal procedures that the landlord had placed in writing years before the fall. The jury awarded money for the client’s pain and suffering; medical bills; and lost wages. Snover v. William Penn Apartment Assocs., et al,. Del.Super., C.A. No. 07C-10-074 MJB (2009)
