RE: Claim against the City of Saint Paul by
Helen C. McGrath
The City of Saint Paul was sued in regard to an accident occurring
July 19, 1980, in which Helen McGrath fell and injured her left
wrist while walking on a sidewalk at 481 Grand Avenue.
McGrath sued the City based on alleged negligent maintenance
of the sidewalk, which was 22 inches lower than the sidewalk
panel next to it. McGrath's treating physician stated tha.t
she has suffered a 15% permanent partial disability to her left
arm as a result of her injury. Our doctor rated her injury
at S%. McGrath's medical expenses totaled $2,700, with a claimed
loss of wages in the area of $1,000.
Based on these facts, I offered $7,500 to plaintiff 's attorney
which he agreed to accept in full settlement of this case.
This office approves the settlement of this matter for $7,500.
