A woman was boarding a plane in Ewing, New Jersey when the ramp she was stepping on suddenly pulled out from under her, causing her to fall about 20 feet onto the pavement. Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C. Partner Patricia Z. Boguslawski filed suit in The Superior Court of New Jersey, Mercer County, proving that the airport, airline, and ground crews were negligent in failing to properly train employees and follow proper procedure, winning the client a $495,500 settlement.
The injured woman was taken by ambulance to Capital Health Medical Center- Hopewell in Pennington, New Jersey, where she was diagnosed with a lumbar vertebral fracture, bilateral heel/foot fractures, and a tooth chip. She was placed in bilateral leg boots and a back brace to treat her fractures and was immobilized and confined to her home for approximately 3 months. The client also completed courses of physical therapy to improve her condition. Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C. Partner Patricia Z. Boguslawski won the client a settlement for her injuries, trauma, pain, and suffering.
Settlements are often limited by the total available insurance coverage. Insurance company adjusters and their lawyers often defend cases by claiming that a client was negligent and could have avoided being injured by arguing comparative negligence on the part of an injured client; or that their pain and suffering was caused by pre-existing medical conditions or prior injuries. Despite those defenses, the Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, PC lawyers won their client’s injury claim. Each client’s case is unique. Results may differ because of different facts, circumstances, and available insurance coverage.
