A 71-year-old lady was at a relative’s house for a birthday party with her husband. While in the backyard, sitting underneath a deck, it collapsed on her, causing back and pelvis injuries. The plaintiff filed suit against the homeowner, claiming that he had failed to properly maintain the deck. The plaintiff claimed he was negligent because he ignored important repair suggestions. The claim was resolved at the outset of trial, and the plaintiffs recovered a total of $2,000,000. The plaintiff was represented by Brion W. Doherty, Robert J. Napleton, and Rory J. Cannon.
