Strongin, LLP Partner Kseniya Stupak Secures $400,000 Settlement for Placentia Apartment Injury

On May 21, 2023, our client, Wanda Rudison, was leaving her son’s apartment at Imperial Villas Apartments in Placentia, California, when she tripped over a piece of landscape edging protruding from the common walkway. The fall caused serious injuries to her left arm and shoulder, requiring ongoing medical care and significantly impacting her daily life. 

Strongin, LLP argued that the apartment complex owners knew of the unsafe landscape edging yet failed to take preventive measures to protect tenants and guests. This negligence created an unreasonable risk of harm in a common area where residents should feel safe. Despite the defense’s denial of responsibility and attempts to blame Ms. 

Rudison for the accident, attorney Kseniya Stupak successfully secured a $400,000 settlement on her behalf. 

This result not only ensures Ms. Rudison can receive the treatment she needs but also underscores the responsibility of property owners to maintain safe walkways and premises.
