Slip and Fall – Brain Injury

Our slip and fall team represented an elderly woman who slipped and fell on uneven pavement while exiting a restaurant.  She fell forward and struck her head on the ground suffering a skull fracture and serious brain injury.  Previously independent and able to drive, pay her own bills, and visit friends, our client now requires full-time caregiving in a residential facility.  We proved the building owners knew the entrance to the restaurant was sloped and cracked but failed to make repairs. Defendants argued that the client fell for reasons unrelated to the property conditions.
