As a result of the incident, Belland states she has required medical treatment and will continue to experience pain.

Belland seeks unspecified damages and compensation for her medical expenses and other related costs. However, Zellweger and Anstead have denied any responsibility for the alleged injuries, asserting that Belland’s injuries resulted from her own negligence.

The person said she suffered a serious knee injury requiring treatment.
In a significant development, the owner of the rental property has also been added as a defendant in the lawsuit. The homeowner claims that Zellweger and Anstead are responsible for exposing Belland to the risk of harm and failing to provide proper warnings. The homeowner insists that any damages awarded to Belland should be covered by Zellweger and Anstead.

The property owner has also been named in the lawsuit.
