$750,000 settlement – fall in store on melted ice cream

John Leighton and Max Panoff obtained a $750,000 settlement on behalf of a client who fell inside a large retail store.  She had been shopping when she slipped on what turned out to be melted ice cream.  The store employees had been restocking a frozen food cooler but left the product too long and it had dripped without being cleaned.  The melted ice cream created a hazardous condition that caused her foot to slip and resulted in a serious fall.

The orthopedic injuries caused our client to undergo surgeries and inpatient rehabilitation.  The confidential settlement provided our client with financial security and future care.
