$1,500,000 Premises Liability / Slip & Fall

We fought tirelessly for this client’s recovery. This was a challenging premises liability case involving a slip-and-fall injury caused by a business owner who clearly didn’t care about customer safety. Despite clear evidence of a hazardous walking area, the Defendant refused to accept responsibility or take any steps to fix the problem. Even after we located employee-witnesses who admitted that people were slipping and falling in the same spot “all the time,” the Defendant continued to deny fault. Through discovery—the formal process of exchanging information during litigation—we uncovered evidence of two prior serious falls at the same location and another afterward. The Defendant’s own records confirmed it had actual knowledge of these incidents and still failed to correct the known danger. That made its continued denial of liability indefensible.

The case spanned nearly five years, multiple hearings, and even an appeal to a higher court. But we never stopped believing in our client or her case. It’s deeply gratifying that we achieved justice for such a kind woman—especially when other lawyers had turned her away. In the end, this case went from zero to a $1.5 million recovery. Sometimes, it just takes patience and perseverance.
