On the night of December 12th, Ms. Shaina Graves slipped on the ice after leaving her son's hockey game at the Fordham Center. The fall
resulted in a broken wrist, which has caused Ms. Graves pain and
suffering in addition to medical bills totaling $1,085. The Fordham
Center should be held responsible for her injury. A spokesperson for
the Fordham Center says that the parking lot was salted at 2:00 that
afternoon and they could not have predicted the cold temperatures
that night. However, weather reports did war of freezing
temperatures, and other businesses report salting again in the evening.
