NOTICE OF CLAIM FORM to the City of Saint Paul, Minnesota
Manuela Junemann — Attached Writing
Please state, in detail, what happened that prompted you to file a Notice of Claim Form:
On August 20th 2023 I went on a walk with my daughter Clara Junemann at Crosby Farm
Regional. Just around 10am we walked onto the landing to look at the little lake. When I turned
around my leg went into a narrow slit/hole due to a missing plank in the landing. I fell all the
way in until my upper leg got stuck and stoped the downfall, with my full body weight slamming
against it. I screamed in pain and couldn’t move. A woman doing yoga ask if I was okay and
offered offered us her help. There was a metal beam (see pictures) that went into my leg that
made most of the damage to my leg. The swelling increased rapidly. We considering calling 911.
My daughter, who is an EMT, suggested getting ice to quickly stop the swelling and she drove us
to the nearest Starbucks to get a bag of ice. I put pressure and ice on my leg for the rest of the
day and rested in bed. The next day I still could not put weight onto my leg, which is when I
decided seek help at Como Urgent Care.
I could not walk at all for 2 weeks. The incident resulted in pain in mostly my right leg, my hips
and my right shoulder. My body was twisted and slammed into this metal beam.
As of today I still feel pain in my leg and it still shows deformation from the metal beam that
slammed into it. I have consistent pain in my right shoulder and go to physiotherapy. At this
point, I am not sure if the pain will ever go away.
Please state why or how you feel the City of Saint Paul is responsible for your Damages?
I reported the missing plank to the City of Saint Paul to prevent others from going through this
painful experience. Almost 6 months later, it still has not been repaired. I am disappointed about
how little the City cares and have now decided to recover damages for missed work and ongoing
pain that I had to endure from the negligence of the City of Saint Paul. I have not retained an
attorney in the hope that this can be resolved without.
