Thursday, January 20 2011

A Connecticut woman has filed notice that she is considering a lawsuit against the City of Waterbury (Connecticut) after she slipped on acorns on the town's Greenway.
 
Prospective Plaintiff Grace Triano, in the notice filed by her attorney William F. Gallagher, claims she fell on debris consisting mainly of acorns, banged her head and was treated at a local hospital.  Gallagher said the experience was like "walking on marbles."  
 
According to news reports, notice is all that is required for a lawsuit to be filed.
