Nurse breaks her foot stepping into hole in shopping center parking lot

A 45-year-old nurse was taking her son for a haircut. After she parked her car, as she was walking through the nearby parking lot, she stepped into a depression in the pavement, breaking a bone in her foot. Since her husband was disabled, she was the sole wage earner in the family. She missed several weeks of work and lost the opportunity for a new job she was pursuing. She was eventually compensated for her lost wages and pain and suffering at a private settlement mediation held by the parties.
