A woman who was rendered disabled after falling on an icy sidewalk at her apartment complex received a $1 million settlement in her Burlington County suit, Tate v. Westover Companies, on May 7.

Nicole Tate, who lived at the Willow Ridge Village Apartments in Marlton, fell on an icy sidewalk at the complex and broke her left ankle on Sunday, March 11, 2018. The incident was the second time in a three-day period that she fell on a sidewalk at the complex—on Friday, March 9, 2018, she fell at the same spot, she claimed. Right after her first fall, she called the apartment management office and left a voicemail message complaining about the icy sidewalk. An employee called her back the next day, acknowledging the complaint. But no measures were taken to treat the slippery walkways, the suit claimed.
