RE: Judy Miller v. Rent A Bug and City of St. Paul
This action was filed by Judy Miller in 1984 alleging she injured
her back and neck on December 6, 1983 when she fell on the sidewalk
at 1614 University Avenue. The commercial tenant at that location,
codefendant Scott' s Imports, is contributing $4 , 500 in settlement
while the City has agreed to pay $500 .
The plaintiff claims the sidewalk was unsha�eled for a substantial
time in that there was no significant snowfall or thawing/refreezing
for at least 10 days to 2 weeks prior to her fall.
Although the City attempts to delegate snow-shoveling responsibility
by ordinance because of ownership, the city is ultimately liable
where the adjacent property owner/tenant fails to shovel.
Ms. Miller sustained a cervical and lumbar strain with no permanent
injury. She was treated with physical therapy and her total medical
bills were $264 . 59 .
