Slip and Fall Verdict of 1.5 Million Dollars
Justice Begins Here has reported a 1.5 million dollar verdict in Macon County in a slip and fall. According to the post,
As a result, Mr. Lawrence fell and suffered multiple spinal cord injuries. The verdict was for $1 million in compensatory damages (to compensate Mr. Lawrence for his injuries, lost wages, future lost wages and future care) and $500,000 in punitive damages (to punish VictoryLand and send a message to other establishments).
We appreciate the lawyers at Justice Begins Here, Lewis & McAtee, P.C. for alerting us to this important verdict. Slip and fall cases are very difficult and often times people don't think about someone really suffering an injury from slipping or tripping due to the defendant's negligence but this case reminds us that a victim can be seriously injured in one of these cases.
Be careful out there and if you are injured, get medical help as soon as possible and contact a good personal injury attorney for a free consultation to know what your options are in your particular situation.
