Our client, a 57-year-old female, sustained significant injuries from a slip-and-fall in a Los Angeles supermarket, leading to a $3 million settlement after proving the store’s negligence.
Our client, a 57-year-old female, was shopping in the defendant’s supermarket in Los Angeles, CA, when she slipped on a loose chili pepper in the produce aisle, landing in a twisting motion on both of her knees. California property owners are required by law to maintain a safe environment for their patrons, and failure to do so can result in liability. The defendant owed a duty of care to our client as an invitee in the supermarket, which was not met, leading to the accident.
The fall resulted in significant injuries to our client, including damage to her bilateral knees, neck, and lower back, as well as persistent headaches. She incurred $766,000 in medical expenses, including lumbar spine surgery and left knee arthroscopic surgery, with ongoing pain and the need for future intermittent therapy. Despite the defendant disputing liability and the necessity of medical treatment, extensive discovery revealed the defendant’s failure to preserve crucial video footage and uncertainty about safety inspections on the incident date. Expert testimony further validated the severity and necessity of the medical treatments.
This case highlights the critical importance of maintaining safety protocols in commercial establishments. The successful $3 million settlement secured by Messrs. Khakshooy and Agarwal demonstrates the significant impact of thorough legal representation and the duty of care owed by property owners to their customers.
