When you imagine a place where an injury might happen, your first thoughts probably involve a construction site or some other dangerous work environment. You might also think of a car or truck accident, which are very common in today’s fast-paced society. While your instincts may indeed point to particular types of locations for a personal injury, that line of thinking excludes another very common one: slip and fall incidents. The distinctive quality of slip and fall accidents is that they can happen literally anywhere. From grocery stores, to restaurants, to your own doorstep, slip and fall accidents frequently cause significant lasting injuries. In addition, these accidents can have debilitating effects on a person’s health. For example, slips and falls are the most common cause of traumatic brain injuries; and, they account for 46% of fatal falls among older Americans.
On November 10, 2012, Ms. Jervon White was eating dinner at a TGI Fridays restaurant in Lombard, Illinois. As she was walking on the restaurant floor, she slipped on an unknown liquid and fell. As a result of the fall, Ms.White suffered injuries to her head, body and limbs, including multiple bruises and cuts. She received treatment for her injuries. Soon thereafter, she filed a personal injury lawsuit against the restaurant chain.
Her lawsuit alleges that the restaurant failed to adequately monitor the floor for potential safety hazards, and that if they had, she would not have slipped and fallen. Ms. White is asking for $50,000 in damages to account, in part, for her medical expenses.
