We have had an issue with one of our properties, wherein supposedly this elderly woman claims she fell and hurt herself in the courtyard 2 years ago and has now decided to sue. She claims she was retired at the time and had entered the property as a friend of the tenant. But the tenant has never heard of her and has signed a stat dec to that effect, he has also stated on the stat dec that he has never been aware of anyone hurting themselves on this property since his tenancy began. The tenant is only in his late 30's and was shocked!
Has this ever happened to anyone else? I have never been sued before in my life. We have put it to our insurance company, but they are not accepting liability at this point until they investigate the allegations further. Can someone please offer some advice, as I'm a wreck, or am I worrying unecessarily?
