A customer visiting a Mexican restaurant in Oak Grove, Missouri, suffered a serious injury after tripping over a wheelchair ramp near the restaurant’s front entrance. The fall caused our client to break her femur, leading to painful medical treatment, recovery time, and major disruptions to daily life.
At first, the insurance company denied responsibility and refused to offer compensation. Our Oak Grove, MO, slip and fall attorney investigated the scene and argued that the ramp was not properly marked or made safe for customers entering the restaurant. We showed that a jury could reasonably find the property owner responsible for creating a dangerous condition.
After continued negotiations, we secured a $225,000 Oak Grove slip-and-fall settlement for our client. This case is an important reminder that businesses have a responsibility to keep their property safe for guests and clearly warn people about hazards that could cause serious injuries.
