Rachel Smith Case – Icey Fall Leads to Complex Ankle Fracture

Rachel represented a client who was injured on school district property when roof drains caused a large pool of thick dangerous ice to form over the only walking path. Her client fell, resulting in a complex ankle fracture. Rachel was able to show that the school district knew about the drainage issue for several years and yet they failed to correct the problem. A confidential settlement was reached to compensate her client for her injury, resulting in pain and disability as well as a second surgery to remove surgical hardware.
