A condominium association has agreed to pay $440,000 in an Essex County, New Jersey, slip-and-fall suit after initially refusing to put its insurance carrier on notice about the claim.
The defendant condominium complex owner’s initial refusal to tender its insurance and its refusal to even provide information about its coverage meant the case took years to litigate as a result of motion practice, appeals and delays, said Cory Rothbort of Mazie, Slater, Katz & Freeman in Roseland, who represented plaintiff Dawn Cooper.
