Slip and Fall Personal Injury Lawsuit Settled for $600,000
When someone is injured, it
can make life more difficult. What makes matters worse is when someone is
injured due to the negligence of a business, but there are experienced personal
injury attorneys that help victims through stress of filing a lawsuit. Recently
a Missouri jury found in favor of a slip and fall victim because of the
business' negligence.
A Missouri jury recently found in court in favor of Debra Belliveau for her personal injury lawsuit against HAC, Inc. The original judgment was $600,000, but the jury assessed 30% of the fault to Plaintiff and 70% fault to the Defendant. Consequently, the award was reduced to $420,000. Debra Belliveau fell while entering the Price Cutter Grocery Store in St. Joseph, Missouri, on a rainy day. The fall caused a burst fracture in her back, which required fusion surgery. Belliveau claimed employees created a dangerous situation when they left tile exposed between the door and the carpet.
