Managing Partner Scott M. Wilhelm, Esq. recently secured a $175,000.00 settlement for his client who was delivering food for a food delivery company to a residence late in the evening. Mr. Wilhelm was able to demonstrate that the homeowner failed to take adequate measures to ensure that her property was safe for invited guests. In this case, the property owner failed to turn on the lights to the porch despite the delivery of food being made after 11:00 p.m. The homeowner also failed to warn that the steps to the porch were uneven.
Under the law, every property owner has an obligation to keep their property in a reasonably safe condition and to warn invited guests -including delivery drivers – of any dangerous or defective condition of their property. If you have been injured as a result of a fall caused by the dangerous or defective property of another, do not hesitate to contact our attorneys at [email protected].
