POINT PLEASANT BEACH -- Six years after being injured when he fell on an icy sidewalk, a man has settled his lawsuit against a business for $900,000.

Gregory Wieboldt, 47, agreed to the deal last month, more than six years after breaking his left leg and left ankle on Jan. 28, 2011, according to NJLawJournal.com.

Wieboldt slipped in front of Palumbo Appliance Hardware on East Atlantic Avenue in Point Pleasant Beach. His attorney argued the sidewalk hadn't been properly cleared of snow or treated with salt following a storm several days earlier.

The fall also aggravated Wieboldt pre-exiting's hip condition, the report said. Wieboldt, who worked as a lumber salesman at the time, later had hip replacement surgery.

The sides agreed to the settlement during mediation with retired Superior Court Judge L. Anthony Gibson.
