Our client secured a $700,000 settlement after a slip-and-fall in a supermarket due to negligent aisle maintenance.
Our client, a 60-year-old female, was shopping in the defendant’s supermarket in Lancaster, CA, when she slipped and fell on loose grapes in one of the aisles. The fall caused her to land hard on the left side of her body, resulting in significant injuries to her lower back, left wrist, left hip, left leg, and left knee. California law mandates that property owners maintain a reasonably safe environment for their patrons, and the failure to do so can lead to liability for accidents. Our client’s injuries required extensive medical treatment, including lumbar spine surgery, with ongoing intermittent therapy expected in the future.
Despite the defendant disputing both liability and the extent of our client’s injuries, through thorough discovery and depositions, it was revealed that the supermarket failed to perform the scheduled sweep of the aisles. Expert testimony confirmed that our client’s medical treatment was both reasonable and necessary given the severity of the fall. As a result, Messrs. Khakshooy and Agarwal successfully recovered $700,000 for our client.
This case underscores the importance of adhering to safety protocols in maintaining a safe environment for patrons. The successful settlement not only compensated our client for her significant injuries and medical expenses but also reinforced the duty of care owed by property owners to their invitees.
