07/15/2012Alison Harrington and Fritz Wilson settled a case on the eve of trial where the firm's client was sued for injuries sustained by a Plaintiff after an alleged slip and fall in a parking lot of a major retailer.
The plaintiff claimed that the firm's client, a maintenance company, neglected to properly clean and maintain the parking lot prior to the incident, which caused the Plaintiff to sustain over $40,000 in medical expenses and lost wages. BVH was able to develop testimony that showed that at trial, Plaintiff would have to testify that she could not specifically identify what caused her to fall, and further, that the type of defect alleged by Plaintiff was not covered by the maintenance agreement between the maintenance company and the retailer. As a result, Alison and Fritz were able to secure a settlement in the amount of $10,000 with Plaintiff for the firm's client in the days leading up to the trial.
