Personal Injury

Perenich, Caulfield, Avril & Noyes Personal Injury Lawyers |

A woman injured her back after falling in the intentionally dimly lit foyer of a restaurant. In prior years, other patrons had fallen in the same area, but the restaurant continued to laugh off the liability claims. An expert demonstrated that the foyer stairs were dangerous, and a fair settlement was negotiated just before the identities of the previously injured patrons were to be revealed under court order.
