Plaintiff and representing personal injury attorneys at Becker, Kellogg and Berry settled a case against a property management company, Kimco Realty Corporation, for $52,000 for a trip and fall that occurred when she stubbed her toe on a protruding portion of an uneven sidewalk located outside a Safeway store in Fairfax County, VA.
Plaintiff fractured her right elbow and left knee and had surgery on both and a follow-up surgery on her right elbow. These cases are very difficult for Plaintiffs to prevail in Virginia courts due to notice requirements and other legal hurdles.

Few days back it was in news that a man broke his tooth eating unpopped popcorn and filed a lawsuit against the theater vendor selling it. Now I am pretty careful eating popcorn
Doing business where customers step on your property is very dangerous and very expensive. There are untold millions of intellectually challenged people running around that are all a threat to your business and your life. On top of that there are fraud artists like professional slip and fall scammers who will intentionally fake an accident at your place of business. In this case - who knows… but 50 grand is cheap compared to loosing a million dollar battle in front of a sympathetic jury.
