Personal Injury Lawsuit Filed on Behalf of Woman Hurt by Falling Metal Railing in Boston
Pedestrian suffers permanent injuries, skull fractures, due to unsafe construction zone
November 7, 2019 — Lubin & Meyer personal injury lawyer William Thompson filed a negligence lawsuit yesterday on behalf of a Charlestown woman who suffered a broken skull and other injuries when a metal railing fell on her from above. Kimberly Frawley, 36, was walking with her 38-year-old husband and their dog on the morning of July 25 this summer when her life changed forever. The lawsuit claims the construction contractor preparing to replace the roof of 85 Atlantic Avenue in Boston's North End was negligent in securing a safe work area.
Attorney William J. Thompson is representing Kimberly Frawley and her husband.
Personal Injury Lawsuit Filed in Suffolk Superior Court
In a television interview with WHDH 7NEWS Boston, Attorney Thompson discussed the basics of the civil lawsuit filed in Suffolk Superior Court. The negligence lawsuit blames Corolla Contracting Inc. for permanent injuries and not following basic safety measures.
"Kimberly has had a very difficult road as you can imagine. She has had to deal with skull fractures, facial fractures, fractures to her neck, which required multiple surgeries. The clients really want some accountability, to make sure that something like this doesn't happen to anybody else.
Mr. and Mrs. Frawley are the ones who were injured and face a very difficult future, but anybody walking by was subject to being injured by these contractors not following basic safety precautions."
