The New Jersey Supreme Court heard oral arguments Wednesday in a slip-and-fall case regarding whether the defendant property owners were negligent in failing to maintain a sidewalk in front of a vacant lot.
Alejandra Padilla slipped and fell on a sidewalk in Camden in front of a vacant lot owned by Myo Soon and Young Il An. Padilla claimed she suffered severe bodily injury in the fall leaving her permanently disabled and limiting her ability to work. She filed a lawsuit, Padilla v. Young Il, against the property owners in Camden County Superior Court, according to the Appellate Division opinion.
