Dedicated Home Attendant with Knee Injury Receives a $500,000 Settlement After Falling on Sidewalk.
March 19th, 2019
A.S., an Armenian woman who had been working as a home care attendant for over a decade, had just left one of her client’s homes and was on her way to her next client’s home on a wintery January morning. While walking there she noticed some ice had formed on the sidewalk. While attempting to avoid stepping on the ice, A.S tripped and fell on the unleveled concrete slab of the sidewalk. A.S.’s doctors informed her that she had torn her meniscus.
A.S. was referred to the firm of Hill & Moin by another attorney. Additionally, one of her friends was a prior client of Hill & Moin. A.S. stated that she, “liked [her experience at Hill & Moin] a lot.” She was particularly thankful that she was able to speak in her native language of Russian to the staff. The dedicated attorneys at Hill & Moin were able to procure a $500,000 settlement for A.S. Now that the case has been settled, A.S. is planning on going back to her home country of Armenia.
