$150,000 Trip and Fall Award for Attorney Getson

Philadelphia and Allentown, Pennsylvania, New Jersey

Premises Liability Lawyer in Philadelphia, Adam Getson of Wapner, Newman, Wigrizer & Brecher was able to obtain a verdict in the amount of $150,000 in a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania trip and fall matter. 

The plaintiff began descending concrete steps when he was caused to trip and fall due to a broken step.  He violently tumbled down the remaining steps crashing into the concrete platform below.  As a result of his fall, plaintiff sustained severe, injuries including but not limited to a laceration of the inner aspect of the right lower lid to the right eye, which required surgical repair in the Emergency Room.  Attorney Getson successfully argued that the defendant had a duty to maintain the premises in a reasonably safe condition for its contemplated use and the purpose for which the invitation was extended to the plaintiff and therefore should be responsible for the injuries sustained by the plaintiff.

Attorney Getson joined Wapner, Newman, Wigrizer & Brecher as an Associate in April 2004 and focuses his practice in Plaintiffs' Civil Trial Litigation.
