$200,000.00 – Settlement – Fall on Broken Stairs

Justice Served: Attorney Ben Sansone Secures $200,000 for Belleville Apartment Fall Victim

Belleville, IL – A devastating fall on broken stairs at a local apartment complex in Belleville, Illinois, left a resident with a severely broken ankle and mounting medical bills. But thanks to the tireless advocacy of personal injury attorney Ben Sansone, justice has been served. Sansone recently secured a substantial $200,000 settlement for his client, providing much-needed relief and a pathway to recovery.

This significant outcome highlights the critical importance of holding property owners accountable for maintaining safe premises. In Illinois, property owners have a legal “duty of care” to ensure their properties, including common areas like stairwells, are free from dangerous conditions. When they fail to uphold this duty, and someone is injured as a direct result, they can be held liable.

In this particular case, the client suffered a painful broken ankle due to neglected, broken stairs within their Belleville apartment complex. Such an injury can lead to extensive medical treatment, including surgeries, physical therapy, and prolonged time off work, causing immense physical, emotional, and financial strain.

Attorney Ben Sansone, known for his diligent approach and unwavering commitment to his clients, meticulously investigated the incident. This included gathering crucial evidence, such as photographs of the hazardous stairs, medical records detailing the extent of the client’s injuries, and potentially even maintenance logs or tenant complaints that could establish the apartment complex’s prior knowledge of the dangerous condition.

“Our client’s life was significantly impacted by this preventable fall,” stated Ben Sansone. “No one should have to suffer a severe injury due to a property owner’s negligence. This settlement is a testament to the importance of fighting for the rights of injured individuals and ensuring that those responsible are held accountable.”

The $200,000 settlement will help cover the client’s past and future medical expenses, lost wages, and compensation for their pain and suffering. This case serves as a powerful reminder that if you or a loved one are injured due to a dangerous condition on someone else’s property, especially in an apartment complex where landlords have a heightened duty to their tenants, seeking experienced legal counsel is paramount.
