Show Notes
A jury in Santa Fe awarded a fifty-four-year-old visitor, Ms. Baca, $262,500 after she tripped on a damaged detectable warning surface at the Palace and Washington intersection, shattering her elbow. The city was found 35% at fault, but Ms. Baca was deemed 65% at fault. The mat, intended for visually impaired individuals, had been loose for years, violating ADA and state safety rules. The city attempted to settle before trial but offers were too low. The case highlights the consequences of neglecting basic upkeep on disability aids.
