Loretta W., 86, tripped on a badly displaced sidewalk in front of an apartment building owned by the Portland Rehabilitation Center. She broke her hip and needed surgery and a long period of physical therapy. We requested compensatory and punitive damages, and the case settled on the day of trial for a confidential amount.
