$250,000 Awarded at Trial for Slip and Fall Victim
Posted on:
Our client left her apartment while going down the stairs she slipped on a step, fell several feet and landed on her knee. After her fall she noticed that the steps were wet from mopping; however, no warning signs were present. She then began yelling for help. As she looked down the stairwell, she saw a maintenance person mopping the floors.
This maintenance person approached our client and our client asked her why she had not placed “wet floor” signs in front of the stairs. The maintenance person refused to answer and ran away.
The client eventually obtained medical assistance, underwent emergency surgery and spent a great deal of time in a painful rehabilitation process.
When the maintenance company was contacted, it responded with a denial of all fault and even produced suspicious records, which allegedly indicated that its workers were not even on the property on the day of the client’s fall.
Ultimately, after presentation of evidence in support of the client’s case, a judgment was entered against the maintenance company, which totaled more than $250,000.00!
