$335,000 for Slip and Fall
The New Jersey Law Journal reported that Secaucus and seven other defendants agreed on June 9 to pay $335,000 to a woman who suffered afractured tibia as she tripped while crossing a town street in a rainstorm. On Nov 9, 2001, Theresa Guadara was crossing Front Street which had been unevenly restored after utility work. Due to injuries suffered, she needed reconstruction and bone grafts, continues to feel pain and cannot resume her work as a hairdresser.
Defense noted that Guadara was outside the crosswalk. The evidence showed some of her pain could have been caused by shingles and a post accident fracture.
