Our client, a Bucks County man, was walking to the restroom at a restaurant when his cane slipped on a freshly mopped quarry tile floor left wet after cleaning with no warning signs while customers were still inside. He fell on his left side, could not stand on his own, and had to be helped to a booth by other patrons.
What appeared to be a routine slip-and-fall was anything but. Over the following years, he underwent four major surgeries.
Liability was established in large part through the restaurant’s own employees, who admitted under oath that the floor was wet, that they knew it before our client walked across it, and that no wet floor signs were out.
Our forensic slip-resistance expert found the floor measured nearly 50% below minimum safety standards. When the defense argued our client injuries were caused by pre-existing conditions and not the fall, we answered with two board-certified surgical experts, a forensic psychological evaluation, and witness testimony dismantling the defense narrative piece by piece.
Outcome:
After full discovery and litigation, our attorney Todd Sailer secured a $3,500,000 settlement reflecting the severity of our client’s permanent disabilities, the strength of the liability evidence, and the irreversible impact this fall had on his life and his family.
