Our team successfully secured a favorable verdict in a six-day trial in Miami-Dade County. The case involved a plaintiff who slipped on a partially eaten hot dog in a mall, resulting in significant injuries that required knee and back surgeries, with medical expenses totaling $277,000. Despite a pre-trial settlement offer of only $75,000 from the defendants, the jury ruled in favor of the plaintiff.
This verdict reinforces the duty of property owners and maintenance companies to maintain safe public spaces.
