The building’s safety managers observed the falling ice but did not take adequate precautions to protect pedestrians on the busy sidewalk below.
“We are grateful to assist a family whose lives were forever altered by others’ failures to employ available safety measures,” said Heineman. “It is important to hold commercial property owners responsible for their obligations to keep the public safe from preventable hazards.” The case was settled for a total amount of $900,000.
