On July 8, 2021, 53-year-old Lesley Mettler Auld, an ultra-distance athlete, was walking in the Queen Anne neighborhood. She fell on a section of the sidewalk known for being covered in water and algae.
Mettler Auld’s legs were pinned under her body, and she snapped both of her quadricep muscles, according to court documents.

She fell walking and blamed the city ?

How exactly did this slip and fall cause so much damage? And how on earth can medical care be that expensive?

North Seattle says: Hey dude, can I get some of those fancy... what do you call them... sidewalks?

I don’t mean to be rude but if you look at her feet they were very messed up. Did she already have issues with her feet that caused her to fall?

"slippery when wet". Works for driving. Same for walking. A sign would be cheaper.

Wetness in that desert of Seattle catches many people off guard.

Obviously nobody in charge there has ever heard of drainage

A property owner should not be liable for City upkeep of sidewalks

Sidewalk buckled, right? That’s what she tripped over and caused all the injuries. Not water
.

Come on where did they pull that figure from ffs? Why don’t we use some of that money to actually fix our crumbling dismal infrastructure. That figure is bonkers.

Love it when ppl say "they" the city pays. Hey guys we are the city. Its our money. She old enough to know how to look where she walks.

I’m sorry she got hurt, but I’m confused. In my six decades of bipedalism, I have encountered many different types of surfaces under many different kinds of climactic conditions. I learned long ago that the condition of the surface affects the quality of friction. I’ve learned that wet, snowy, or icy sidewalks offer less traction than dry ones, and that if I ignore the laws of physics I may be pushing my luck. Just a couple weeks ago, I was walking on a paved path in a park when I encountered a muddy section due to recent rain. I knew it would be slippery, but proceeded anyway, causing me to slip and fall. Since I don’t hold the city responsible for the weather, it never occurred to me that the fall was anyone’s fault but mine. Am I missing something?

A property owner included in the lawsuit?
I can understand if the water was from their property and that they had control of the water.
But since she fell on City Owned property.. how is the land owner responsible?
Did the "slippery when wet" sign come after the incident or has it been there all along?
If the later.. how was the city or landowner liable?

She has a great lawyer. I can’t even be mad at her

This story is so scanty, D-. How did she fall? What about the water made her fall? How long ago did she fall? How do these laws work & why do we have them to begin with? Is there a similar case about a minority that had a different result? At what age should ppl start to worry that a fall will destroy their leg muscles? What can they do to delay that onset?
The fact that the payout is about equal to her medical bills should be more prominent. Keep the "tax dollars at work" crowd off this lady's back.

What a fraud!

Maybe don’t develop land where there’s a natural spring or stream flowing.

Did the City of Seattle fix the sidewalk? Probably not. They'd rather pay $13M in lawsuit damages. Ridiculous.
