$850,000 settlement – slip and fall at hotel – fractured knee (Orlando)

Our client, a nurse on vacation in Orlando, slipped and fell on rainwater which covered a painted walkway outside a major resort hotel. The flooring was not non-skid and there were no warning signs or cones out giving her an indication that this was a dangerous area.   She sustained a fractured patella that required a surgical repair.  She had previous injuries and surgeries to the knee which complicated her case.  John Elliott Leighton secured a confidential settlement of $850,000 for this client, who has been able to return to work.
