The plaintiff slipped on a partially eaten hot dog while walking through the mall, suffering injuries that required knee and back surgeries. Her medical expenses totaled $277,000.
Prior to trial, the highest settlement offer from the defendants was $75,000. The jury’s award of more than $2 Million not only compensates the client for her injuries but also entitles the firm to attorney’s fees and costs as the prevailing party under Florida’s Proposal for Settlement statute.
“This verdict reinforces the responsibility property owners and maintenance companies have to ensure public spaces are safe,” said Senior Partner, Anthony Soto. “Our Litigators fought tirelessly to secure justice for our client, and we are proud of the outcome.”
