The Filthy Floor Case
Each year, more than 3 million food service employees and 1 million guests are injured as a result of slip-and-fall accidents. As stated in Louisiana's legal framework, merchants bear a significant responsibility to maintain safe premises for their visitors. Under Louisiana laws on safe floors, a duty of care is owed to visitors, requiring merchants to exercise reasonable caution to ensure floors remain reasonably safe. However, when this duty is breached, the consequences can be severe, as seen in the unfortunate case of our client, a 51-year-old female drug representative.
Our client was conducting business, meeting with a client over lunch at a local restaurant. Little did she know, this routine outing would result in a life-altering incident. While walking to the patio of the restaurant, she encountered a slippery floor covered in grease. Despite being diligent in her movements, she slipped and fell in a manner where her right leg went forward, while her left leg remained behind her. The force of the fall caused her patella to act as a wedge, resulting in a severe distal femur fracture.
The aftermath of the fall plunged our client into a whirlwind of medical challenges. Rushed to the emergency room at Christus Schumpert Health System, she was diagnosed with a distal femur fracture, necessitating immediate surgery—an open reduction internal fixation procedure. What followed was a long path of rehabilitation, including extensive therapy sessions, neuromuscular training, balance exercises, and gait training.
Despite her remarkable resilience, our client's journey to recovery was fraught with setbacks. Over 50 orthopedic visits and 5 additional procedures on her leg later, she continues to suffer from anteromedial knee pain and mobility issues. Simple tasks, once taken for granted, now pose significant challenges. The incident rendered her unable to work, resulting in a substantial loss of income. This incident could have been entirely avoided if the restaurant had kept its floors clean. Falls in restaurants and stores are the number one cause of accidents. After gathering evidence that the floors had not been professionally cleaned for an extended period, it was revealed that the restaurant also had been written up by the Department of Health for their filthy floors.
In times of distress, navigating the complexities of the legal system can feel overwhelming. At the negligence of others. Whether you've been injured in a slip and fall incident, our dedicated Bossier City team is here to provide unwavering support and the Ryan E. Gatti Law Firm, we are equipped to advocate for individuals who have suffered due to accident or any other representation.
