Big Lady gets Big Verdict

Posted by Kavathas and Castanes 
· Tuesday, December 8th, 2009 

I just obtained a verdict for a client who slipped and fell at Alexian Brothers Hospital. She was 415 pounds and tripped over the carpet causing her to fracture her knee and eventually needed a knee replacement. The hospital refused to offer any settlement, disputed liability and the case was tried before a jury who found in favor of my client and awarded $500,000.00 in damages.

A hospital is a place where many people, who are elderly and have infirmities visit daily. I convinced the jury that the hospital was negligent. If you would like more information about this verdict or my firm please visit our website. If you have a slip and fall injury please call us for a free consultation. Sam Kavathas
