In Scott v. Georgia King Village, a Newark woman is to receive $1.48 million as compensation, including $1.3 million awarded by an Essex County jury, for injuries she sustained when she slipped and fell on ice and snow in her apartment complex’s parking lot.
Plaintiff Jessica Scott, now 38, was injured on March 2, 2015, at the Georgia King Village apartments in Newark, according to her attorney, Stephen Brown. At the time of the incident, she was attempting to help her child into her car when she slipped and fell on the ice and snow, said Brown, who heads a firm in West Orange.
