In Sklar v. Wells Fargo, an Essex County jury on March 14 delivered a $5 million verdict to a Livingston man and his wife after the man fell on ice at a Wells Fargo Bank branch, permanently injuring his spine.

According to his lawyers at Laddey, Clark & Ryan in Sparta, the man, Bernard Sklar, claimed that he slipped and fell in 2017 on clear ice that had formed on a walkway at a Wells Fargo Bank branch in Livingston.
