Hartle v. McAllister's Deli
Feb 10, 2018OUTCOME: Settled for $375,000
Our client was injured in a trip and fall accident at a fast-casual dining chain. Our client claimed she tripped over a bunched-up floor mat in the restaurant and fell forward, suffering a fractured sh ... oulder that required surgery. The restaurant claimed the floor mat was flat and that our client simply tripped over her own feet. We deposed restaurant employees to establish policy and procedure violations and retained a human factors expert to testify regarding the mechanics of the fall. Ultimately, the restaurant settled rather than take the case to trial and risk a more substantial damage award.
