SETTLEMENT REACHED ON SLIP/FALL CASE: our client had been dining out at an upscale restaurant when she slipped on some type of liquid. It took her by complete surprise as she lost her balance and collapsed onto the floor. In the end she suffered multiple bodily injuries which required months of medical care and therapy. Doctors say she’s left with serious and permanent injuries that will require future surgery. This case was challenging because IN FLORIDA, the plaintiff in a slip and fall case bears a HEAVY BURDEN of proving that a premises owner either knew or should have known about the condition which caused the fall, yet failed to correct it or warn of the condition. Initially the restaurant hotly contested liability and in fact, blamed the plaintiff for causing her own fall. During litigation, the law firm of, Cazeau, Linton Robinson. LLC uncovered evidence of negligence in the restaurant’s management policies and maintenance procedures which directly led to liquid accumulating on the floor in an area where patrons were expected to walk. Shortly before trial, when confronted with this evidence, the restaurant offered a CONFIDENTIAL SETTLEMENT that satisfactorily compensated the Plaintiff for her pain, suffering, medical expenses and other damages. CLR law firm is very happy to have represented this client and see her get justice in this unfortunate circumstance.
