According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on Aug. 14, 2015, she fell inside the bathroom of the apartment unit she was renting from the defendants. She alleges she sustained a fractured hip that resulted in extreme pain and suffering, decreased mobility, mental anguish and medical care expenses.
