One year after a fall in a pitch-black stairwell, a woman in Upper Austria is still in pain. She believes she is entitled to compensation - but the property management and the insurance company don't care.

Suddenly everything was dark. Juliana Kötelesch was standing on the second floor of the apartment building in Braunau where she has lived for many years. While searching for the light switch, the fatal accident happened on February 13th a year ago. A few days before her 81st birthday, the sprightly pensioner fell down the stairs. With painful consequences.
