A client was walking into a big box store in Kansas City when she slipped on water near the entrance. There were no “wet floor” signs posted, and even after calling for help, a nearby employee did not assist her. She was taken to the hospital after the fall and later learned she had suffered a serious knee injury.
Because of the injury, she eventually needed a total knee replacement surgery and missed time at work while recovering. The injury affected her daily routine, mobility, and ability to live life normally.
The store’s insurance company originally offered just $75,000 to settle the case. Our KC slip and fall attorney knew the client deserved more. After continued negotiations and building a strong case around the unsafe conditions and the seriousness of her injuries, the case ultimately settled for $140,000.
