Kristin Scepanski v Montoya Condo Association and Mario Campos: A woman who claims she sustained a permanent arm injury after tripping over a ladder lying in uncut grass at her condominium complex was denied damages after defense lawyers persuaded a jury that her claims were most likely fabricated.
In August 2009, Kristin Scepanski, 32, of Branford, claims she exited the back of her condo building in the Montoya Apartments, turned past her patio, walked around the fence, and then walked six or seven more steps before tripping over a 20-foot-long metal painters’ extension ladder that was in a closed position in the grass.
