THE RECORD
RIDGEWOOD — The Village Council agreed Wednesday to pay a Ho-Ho-Kus woman $15,000, settling a lawsuit filed last year after a slip-and-fall incident.
According to Village Attorney Matt Rogers, the suit was filed after the woman, Mary Somerwitz, tripped while walking near Ridgewood’s border with Ho-Ho-Kus.
Rogers said Somerwitz tripped while traversing a sidewalk running on a residential road. A portion of the sidewalk, Rogers said, had risen an inch or so from the slabs in front and behind it, causing Somerwitz to stumble and fall.
