The second-largest premises liability award in 2014 was a $2.75 million verdict obtained by attorney Jeffrey Hasson on behalf of a woman in a sidewalk slip-and-fall case. An Essex County jury rendered the verdict on Oct. 8, 2014.

In September 2009, Kiiana Askew, then 31, was walking her daughter to school on West Main Street in Bogota, New Jersey, when her foot became caught in a hole left by a missing brick paver, causing her to fall forward, according to Hasson.
