Jay O’Brien and team obtained a defense verdict in a heavily contested premises liability case on behalf of their two clients, a condominium association and property management company.  Plaintiff alleged that as she was walking through the parking lot at the condominium, she fell into a large hole in front of a storm drain, all the way down to the middle of her chest.  As a result, Plaintiff claimed injuries to her knee and a shoulder rotator cuff tear that ultimately required surgery.  Plaintiff’s medical bills were in excess of $100,000.00.  Plaintiff asked the Jury for her medical bills and an additional $485,000.00 for pain and suffering.  The jury deliberated for less than an hour before returning a defense verdict.
