October, 2024 – Ana Rita Ferreira settled a Union County trip and fall lawsuit for $165,000, for her 67 year-old Linden, NJ client who sustained a distal tibia and fibular displaced fracture and permanent scarring. Her client tripped and fell as she was entering an apartment complex. Liability was heavily contested in this premises liability case where the defendant asserted no prior notice or injuries as a result of the allegedly unsafe conditions over a nearly forty-year period since the original construction of the building.
