RE: Norma.n Bloch v. City of Saint Paul
On January 22, 1978, Norma.n Bloch was injured when he fell on the
sidewalk on the west side of Lexington Parkway between Portland
and Summit. Mr. Bloch lived nearby and was walking to church at
the time of the accident. He claimed that melting snow ran down
the alley and collected in a low spot where the alley crossed
the sidewalk. He sustained a fracture of his right arm. Mr.
Bloch was employed as a waiter and claimed a wage loss of $5, 811
and medical expenses of $354. 15. He was found to have sustained
a 5% permanent partial disabil�ity to his arm.
The City of Saint Paul originally denied liability, but eventually
offered $1,000 to settle the claim. At that time Mr. Bloch was
very ill and there was a question whether he would die prior to
trial. Any claim for general dama.ges would end with Mr. Bloch' s
death, but the special damages, including the medical bills and
lost wages would survive. The settlement offer was made with
all these factors in mind. Ultimately Mr. Bloch did pass away and
the release has been signed by the court appointed personal repre-
sentative of his estate.
