A Chester County, Pennsylvania, trial has resulted in an award of about $1.275 million for a man who suffered a broken ankle on Thanksgiving night 2014 in an icy parking lot outside his apartment.

A jury in late September said the plaintiff, Michael G. White, suffered $1.275 million in damages. It also found 94 percent liability on the part of the companies that owned and managed the building and 6 percent against the company that had been contracted to perform snow and ice removal. The trial before Chester County Court of Common Pleas Judge Edward Griffith took eight days, and the jury deliberated about 12 hours, according to an attorney for White.
