A woman in Illinois is suing a bar and restaurant after she fell and suffered serious, permanent injury to her knee. In addition to the knee injury, the woman incurred medical expenses and lost wages when she was unable to perform her job after the accident.
The woman claims that she was attempting to walk from the bar area of the restaurant to the patio when she slipped and fell on the floor of the restaurant. Just before she walked across the room, an employee was allowed to mop the floor, leaving it wet and slippery without appropriate warning to customers.
The lawsuit claims that the restaurant is responsible for allowing the employee to mop the floor in an area where customers could injure themselves. This lawsuit is an excellent example of how common slip and fall cases can be. From this seemingly small mistake of mopping the floor, a woman has now suffered a great deal of pain and economic losses.
Slip and fall accidents can be very serious. While this woman only injured her knee, in other slip and fall accidents, people can suffer neck injuries, brain injuries, and spine injuries.
