B.D.’s Story
Thursday, February 18th, 2010
A fall in front of a city housing project disrupted a young woman’s life, but Hill & Moin LLP helped get it back on track.
Britney, 22, fell three years ago on a defective sidewalk in front of a housing project in Brooklyn. She stubbed her shoe toe on a raised part of the sidewalk and fell, hurting her hand and knee. Unable to walk, she used her cell phone to call her stepfather, who took her to the hospital. The fall had torn a ligament in Britney’s knee, requiring surgery. She was no longer able to play basketball, one of her passions in life.

She tripped because of an electric company’s negligence, and Hill & Moin LLP forced them to pay.
L.R., a 73-year-old Colombian born woman, fell while walking near her apartment on the Upper West Side in October 2004. She broke her right hip, and, while she was in the hospital, one of her family members suggested she contact Hill & Moin LLP about her injury. L.R. took the advice and is glad she did.
