Litigation Successes

Abigail Fleming handled a multi-party mediation for a lawsuit where an intoxicated plaintiff sued for personal injuries (bimalleolar ankle fracture & surgical repairs) sustained from a slip and fall late in the evening hours on residential premises. Abigail represented the tenant and her interests in the mediation.  Plaintiff admittedly consumed alcohol at nearby taverns prior to the incident (The EMT’s reported Plaintiff was so intoxicated that she threw up three times in the ambulance while under their care). Plaintiff claimed her foot caught in an open pipe in an area of mixed grass and gravel along a driveway area near the rear entry way to the tenant’s home.  Landlord-Defendant admitted that he was in charge of maintenance and repairs on the property and that he made repairs on that specific pipe prior to the incident in question.  The multi-party mediation successfully resolved the lawsuit.
