Recently, our
litigation department settled a slip and fall case that occurred in Seacrets in
Ocean City, Maryland. Anyone that has
visited Seacrets knows that the floor can get very wet and slippery as people
are coming in and out of the bay and drinks are spilling all over the
floor. Our client was at Seacrets one
evening when she slipped and fell on wet pieces of confetti that were scattered
all over the floor. She injured her
ankle and required numerous medical treatments, which totaled about
$30,000. Settlement negotiations with
the insurance adjuster started with an offer of only $2,500. Eventually, our litigation claims manager,
Lora Hatton, managed to get the adjuster up to $36,000 to settle the case. Our client was extremely pleased with the
offer and accepted it.
