Slip And Fall Personal Injury Case Settled For $42,500

A personal injury lawsuit filed against the town of Kearny, New Jersey has been settled. Richard Naprawa, 53, was leaving Kearny’s town hall, when he slipped and fell on the building’s wet marble stairs. He sustained a ruptured left patellar tendon, requiring surgery and physical therapy; Naprawa’s medical expenses were around $42,500.

Before the accident, Naprawa had been a full-time active member of the New Jersey National Guard; chronic knee pain has kept him from returning to active military duty. He and his wife sued the Town of Kearny, claiming they failed to warn visitors about the wet steps, and that they had no maintenance plan in place. The couple did not claim any lost income. The jury agreed with the Kearnys, and awarded them $542,500.
