RE: Claim against the City of Saint Paul
iby James E. Newell
The above� entitled matter involves a claim by James Newell that he
was injur d when he tripped and fell over a rug at the St. Paul
Police De ' artment headquarters on February 21, 1984 . He claims
his fall nd subsequent injuries were caused by the negligence of
the City f St. Paul . The City denies it was negligent claiming
instead t at Mr. Newell ' s injuries were caused by his own negligence
or the ne ligence of United Van Lines and Modular Communication
Systems, nc. who were bringing furniture into headquarters .
The quest�on of who was really negligent cannot be guaranteed.
As such a d considering the nature of plaintiff ' s claimed injuries, '
this offi e agrees to the settlement of this case by the payment of
$1, 500 toj r. Newell with the three defendants (the City of St.
Paul beinc� one) paying $500 each.
