Slip and Fall Injury Case: A worker at a well-known, national fast food chain apparently wanted to go home early. So instead of following normal procedures and mopping the floor after the dining room closed for the day, the employee decided to start mopping with two customers still in the store. After one customer went to the bathroom, the employee mopped the area just outside the bathroom door. Not surprisingly, the woman was hurt when she exited the bathroom and slipped on the wet, soapy water on the tile floor. Adding insult to injury, it was reported that the manager on duty at the restaurant even refused to call 911 to help the injured customer.
When the woman learned her broken wrist would prevent her from working at the job that paid her bills, she contact the fast food chain and asked for help. They refused to help so this nice lady called our office. After over a year of collecting witness statements, entering litigation, handling depositions, retaining experts, and many other steps, we were able to force the chain to step up to the plate and pay our client for the injuries they caused through their own neglect.
