Not Digging This Lawsuit |
Thursday, March 17 2016 |
An Oregon woman is suing her apartment complex after she stepped into a hole that children dug on the playground, causing her to fracture her foot. According to news sources, Ellen Saiz was crossing a grassy area of the complex near a playground when she stepped in a hole dug by the children. In her lawsuit, Saiz states she suffered injuries to her ankle, knee, back and shoulder, in addition to fracturing her foot. Saiz claims the management company was aware that the children were burrowing into the ground, but failed to stop the children or later fill the hole. She is seeking $120,000 in damages — $15,500 in medical expenses and $104,500 for disruption to her normal life activities and diminished quality of life. The lawsuit doesn't say how deep the hole was. —Source: oregonlive.com
