At trial, Victoria de Toledo represented a 52-year old woman who broke her hip when she slipped and fell on ice on the driveway entrance to a town parking lot. The town argued the claim fell under the highway defect statute, and therefore, the plaintiff had to prove that the town’s negligence was the sole proximate cause of her injury and that the plaintiff had no fault whatsoever in her falling on the ice. The case was settled during jury selection. Sanders v. Town of Greenwich.
