Case Evaluation Memorandum
Prepared for Patrick, Esq. · June 2026 · Liability contested on notice; records outstanding.
Luis Romero: Premises Liability in Davidson County, TN. On April 15, 2026, Mr. Romero fell on a broken stair tread in the common stairwell of his building at Lakeside Apartments. An ankle fracture with surgery recommended, not documented as completed. The treatment course and disputed notice remain unresolved for valuation.
On April 15, 2026, Mr. Romero fell on a broken stair tread in the common stairwell of his building at Lakeside Apartments. Lakeside kept control of that stairwell, and with control comes the duty to inspect it and keep it reasonably safe. A premises owner is charged with notice of a dangerous condition that existed long enough for reasonable inspection to discover it. Blair v. West Town Mall, 130 S.W.3d 761 (Tenn. 2004).
A surgical ankle fracture would otherwise command strong value, but premises liability turns on notice, which the landlord disputes. Range is wide and conditional on establishing actual or constructive notice.
Prioritize the notice investigation by pulling the tenant complaint and maintenance history before valuing the claim. Complete the Nashville Orthopedic surgical records in parallel.
