Slip and Fall on Newly Mopped Floor Results in Severe Shoulder Injury

N/A

OUTCOME: $100,000.00 settlement

After attending an appointment in a medical building, a 74 year old woman took the elevator down to the first floor. Upon exiting the elevator, she recognized that the floor had just been mopped, and w ... as very slippery. Despite the use of caution, she slipped and sustained a torn rotator cuff. Although the property owner claimed that it had taken appropriate measures to warn visitors of the wet floor, and sought a dismissal of the lawsuit by the trial court, the attorneys at Klein & Carney were able to demonstrate that the measures were inadequate, and that the property owner had created a dangerous condition for which it was responsible.
