CASE RESULTS I PREMISE LIABILITY I SLIP AND FALL I PERSONAL INJURY SETTLEMENT I - $500,000 John Doe v. ABC Restaurant – Wet Floor Signs Not Placed Prior to Fall April 19, 2021 Our offices are happy to announce the settlement of a premise liability case for $500,000 (Five Hundred Thousand Dollars). Injury/Claim Cause of Action Initial Defense Offer Settlement Back – Spinal Injury - Lumbar Disc Protrusion; L4-L5; L5-S1; Radiating Sciatic Nerve Pain • Premises Liability - Failure to Warn; Dangerous Condition • Slips, Trips & Falls - Slip and Fall • Worker/Workplace Negligence - Negligent Training $ 40,000.00 (Forty Thousand USD) – Initial offer extended nearly three years post-incident $ 500,000.00 (Five Hundred Thousand USD) Back in May 2018 our client, John Doe 38-years-old, along with his wife and daughter entered a restaurant. While his wife and daughter were placing an order, John Doe walked to the back of the restaurant to utilize the restroom. Unbeknown to the family, while eating their dinner, Jane Doe an employee at ABC Restaurant was mopping the premise floor with water and failed to place wet floor signs or notify the family that the floor was otherwise wet. When John Doe got up to use the restroom he slipped on the wet and slippery floor directly impacting his lumbar spine. ABC Restaurant did not adopt a company policy on how to mop the premise floor at closing. Further the restaurant failed to train and instruct employees to “warn customers about wet floors” and/or use the “wet floor” warning signs. In short ABC Restaurant failed to adopt precautions and measures on how to avoid accidents and injuries on the premise. As a result, defendant ABC Restaurant was negligent for creating a dangerous condition on the premise floor, failing to warn of the condition and further failing to adopt appropriate corporate policies and/or properly training their employees. John Doe was not treated at the scene of the incident, however he sought out emergency medical treatment the following day. Medical imaging confirmed disc protrusions in John Doe’s lumbosacral spine. Ultimately John Doe underwent a microdiscectomy. The surgical procedure, reduced pressure in the lumbosacral spine, however John Doe had ongoing chronic pain which resulted in difficulties competing in the labor market given his disabilities. After the initial round of expert exchanges and an unsuccessful mediation, the defendants agreed to settle for $500,000.00 For additional articles discussing our previous results and successes, please see below: • CAR ACCIDENT I UNINSURED DRIVER I PERSONAL INJURY SETTLEMENT – $72,500 SETTLEMENT, INITIAL OFFER WITHOUT LEGAL REPRESENTATION $1,500 [DO I NEED AN ATTORNEY?] [WHY A LAWYER?]: • CAR ACCIDENT I RIDESHARE ACCIDENT I UBER I LYFT I PERSONAL INJURY SETTLEMENT I CASE RESULTS – $100,000 Settlement, Initial Offer Without Legal Representation $0 – Wrongful Denial Of Coverage [Do I Need An Attorney?] [Why A Lawyer?] • PERSONAL INJURY I CAR ACCIDENTS I FAQ CAR ACCIDENTS I FREQUENTLY ASKED CAR ACCIDENT QUESTIONS I TBI I TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY – Swollen Eyes Following A Car Accident Indicating Head Injuries– POLICY LIMITS SETTLEMENT $100,000 • PERSONAL INJURY I CAR ACCIDENTS I FAQ CAR ACCIDENTS I FREQUENTLY ASKED CAR ACCIDENT QUESTIONS I FRAUD I DISABILITY ABUSE I DISABILITY FRAUD – At-Fault Driver Takes Advantage Of Disabled Pedestrian Following Traffic Collision For additional information as to Slip and Fall Accidents and Premises Liability Cases please see our blogs below: • SLIP AND FALL I PREMISE LIABILITY I PERSONAL INJURY – Were You Injured After Falling Down Stairs? • SLIP AND FALL I PREMISE LIABILITY – Who’s To Blame For Slip And Fall Accidents In A Parking Lot? • PERSONAL INJURY I SLIP AND FALL I PREMISE LIABILITY – DID YOU SLIP AND FALL ON A WET OR FRESHLY MOPPED FLOOR? • PERSONAL INJURY I SLIP AND FALL I PREMISE LIABILITY – $2,800,000 VERDICT ON BEHALF OF PLAINTIFF IN RESTAURANT FALL RESULTING FROM A FAILURE TO WARN – UNREASONABLY SLIPPERY TILE • SLIP AND FALL I PREMISE LIABILITY – RESTAURANT FALL – LIQUID SPILL • PERSONAL INJURY I SLIP AND FALL – $21,500,000 SETTLEMENT IN FAVOR OF PLAINTIFF WHOM CLAIMED TRACK WORK CREATED TRIPPING HAZARD • SLIP AND FALL INJURY ATTORNEY IN SAN DIEGO • SLIP & FALL INJURY ATTORNEY SAN DIEGO • PUBLIC ENTITY LIABILITY I SLIP AND FALL I PREMISE LIABILITY – SIDEWALK FALLS AND ROADWAY FALLS INCREASING IN SAN DIEGO • PERSONAL INJURY I SLIP AND FALL I PREMISE LIABILITY – SIDEWALK FALLS IN SAN DIEGO CAUSED BY WATER METERS Personal Injury and Premise Liability Questions If you were involved in an auto collision, trucking accident, dog bite, wrongful death case, motor vehicle accident claim, aviation accident, pilot error case, elder neglect, skilled nursing facility negligence, slip and fall case, premise liability, product liability lawsuit or have any questions about your personal injury case call us today at 619-432-5145 for a free consultation with one of our experienced Personal Injury Lawyers.
