Boulder will pay a University of Colorado student $100,000 in a settlement of a lawsuit concerning a pedestrian injury that occurred downtown.

CU’s Morganne Gau tripped and fell on Feb. 18, 2016, according to the City Attorney’s Office, on a sidewalk adjacent to the public parking lot at 1095 14th St.

No other information on her fall has been released to the public.

Gau filed bodily injury claims, and City Attorney Tom Carr advised the City Council that “given the projected costs of litigation … it is unlikely that the city will be in a significantly better economic position by litigating the case as compared to accepting the settlement offer.”

With no discussion at its meeting Monday night, the council unanimously agreed to the settlement.

It’s the second significant settlement between the city and a resident in the last month; on Feb. 6, the City Council unanimously approved a $152,000 settlement with Maxwell Brandel, a citizen injured in a crash in 2016 with a vehicle that was being driven by a city employee.
