Mrs. Donahue claimed she fell faee-first, sustaining numerous injuries to her face, mouth and body. Plaintiff was on her way to church at Wellesley and Prior at the time of this mishap. The evidenc.e indicates that the sidewalk on Wellesley, from Kenneth to Prior, had been repaired numerous times by the City prior to Mrs. Donahue's fall, though the precise area of her fall, ADVANTAGES IF • O : / • • er � . These repairs were necessary because of tree-±root damage done to the sidewalk on Wellesley. From the fact of st�ch repairs, as well as the fact that the City had installed a handicap-access area at the corner of Prior and Wellesley, before 9/4�'89, thereby putting the City directly on the scene of plaintiff's accident, it would appear arguable that the City had notice of any defect in this general area. In addition, plaintiff claims she and at least two 2 other individuals had o ' DISADVANTA(iE�FiA�(�dlr of this sidewalk before September 4, 1989. Plaintiff sued the City, claiming damages in excess of $50, 000. 00. She claims her injuries to have been: facial cuts, bruises and general body abrasions; cripped teeth; loss of teeth; facial trauma; nosebleed; and aggravation of pre-existing back, neck and shoulder injuries. Plaintiff has accepted a final Compromise offer of $5,000.00 from the City for release of an� further liability herein.
