Seattle Athlete’s $13 Million Injury Verdict: A Call for Better Sidewalk Maintenance

In 2021, an ultramarathon athlete’s life was tragically altered due to a fall on a neglected sidewalk in Seattle’s Queen Anne neighborhood. This incident, which resulted in severe injuries and multiple surgeries, has culminated in a jury awarding over $13 million to the injured party. This verdict held the city of Seattle and an apartment building owner responsible, emphasizing the significant risks associated with poorly maintained walkways.

Lesley Mettler Auld, a professional fitness coach and experienced ultramarathon runner, suffered severe damage to her quadriceps after falling on a stretch of sidewalk consistently covered in water and algae. Despite her athletic prowess and numerous completed ultramarathons, Lesley now struggles to walk and can no longer run. Her case serves as a stark reminder of the critical importance of proper sidewalk maintenance to prevent such devastating accidents.
