Grocery-store hazard — back surgery
Premises-liability recovery for a shopper who required back surgery after a fall caused by an unaddressed store hazard.
Our client slipped on an unaddressed hazard in a grocery store and suffered a back injury that ultimately required surgery. The store argued the danger was “open and obvious” and that it had no notice of the spill.
Premises-liability cases turn on the details. We moved quickly to secure the store’s surveillance video, incident reports, and cleaning logs before they could be lost, and established that the hazard had existed long enough that the store should have addressed it.
The claim resolved for $640,000, covering our client’s surgery, recovery, and lost wages.
