Just settled a 6 figure slip and trip case. Taking ?'s
Poast new message in this thread
Date: December 15th, 2025 7:20 PM Author: silver seedy den cuckoldry Client slipped on some fruit dropped on the ground in a grocery store.
Fell and busted her ass.
Case settled for little over $110k.
Case resolved after taking just my client's deposition. No MSJ's.
Probably one of my easier cases to resolve. |

Date: December 15th, 2025 10:57 PM Author: tantric misunderstood business firm becky so was there some deficiency in the cleaning that led to your client to slip on the fruit? it's sort of a known hazard in the grocery store (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5810735&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310751#49512775) |
|
Date: December 15th, 2025 11:02 PM Author: silver seedy den cuckoldry If it's such a "known hazard", then why didn't the store do a better job of keeping it from happening?
Who is in a stronger position to prevent such a "known hazard" from happening? My client or the owner of the property who has a written policy THAT EXPLICITLY SAYS TO CHECK THE FLOORS FOR DROPPED FOOD? |

Date: December 15th, 2025 11:05 PM Author: tantric misunderstood business firm becky ? no store can keep the floor spotless. and any customer walking around a display of apples and bananas should consider the possibility that one would've fallen onto the floor (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5810735&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310751#49512796) |
|
Date: December 15th, 2025 11:07 PM Author: silver seedy den cuckoldry That's not what the law says.
It clearly says if you have a cleaning/safety policy and your employees fail to follow that policy then, DING-FAG, you're liable for any injuries that occur. |
|
Date: December 15th, 2025 11:09 PM Author: tantric misunderstood business firm becky so then why don't stores just write policies that say we'll pick up every once in a while, and try to keep it clean, but hey nobody is perfect (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5810735&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310751#49512805) |

But their dumbass employees never follow the damn policy.
After I get a copy of the cleaning policy, and then depose their corporate rep, I always discover where the employee fucked up. |

Date: December 15th, 2025 11:13 PM Author: tantric misunderstood business firm becky Ty, that's interesting I guess. Not sure why your client should get $110k out of it though. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5810735&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310751#49512811) |

Date: December 15th, 2025 11:14 PM Author: Electric low-t garrison telephone because this has nothing to do with the law or morality but rather leveraging our kafkaesque legal bureaucracy stoked by the resentment of losers like op’s clientele into extracting “just fucking go away” money from risk-averse committee decisionmakers who simply pass on the costs to regular productive citizens.

|
Date: December 15th, 2025 11:21 PM Author: silver seedy den cuckoldry "who simply pass on the costs to regular productive citizens"
So the blame should be on the corporate overlords who:
a) created the hazard that injured the customer;
b) forced the injured customer into litigation instead of just paying for her medical treatment;
c) Pass the bullshit costs of litigation onto customers rather than eating the cost for their own fuckup |
|
Date: December 15th, 2025 11:46 PM Author: Electric low-t garrison telephone a) there is no “hazard.” tell your fucking bozo clients, who are almost certainly career leeches in the first place, not to slip on banana peels like a shitty vaudeville act. b) i would confidently bet at least that six-figure settlement amount that the “medical” “treatment” your client received was worth less than 50% of the settlement value even after deducting your cut. c) why would they do that, when every competitor is beholden to the same gunpoint tort bullshit? the shamelessness and/or retardation that enables you to envision yourself as robin hood just because somebody, somewhere (who is at least providing a valuable service) makes more money explains a lot about your renttt-seeking career path. |

Date: December 16th, 2025 1:42 AM Author: silver seedy den cuckoldry You're supposed to wear boots, not deep-throat them you dumb faggot.
If my client was such a lying fraud, why did the insurance company roll over and pay?
They're a multi-billion dollar company, surely they could afford to have their CHILL AS FUCK CHAD of a defense lawyer go to trial and mop the floor with my weak case.
It would probably be a lot cheaper than writing a check for 6 figures to an "obvious fraud"
Maybe. . .just maybe, you don't know what the fuck you're talking about and need to suck my dick from the back. |

Date: December 16th, 2025 10:13 AM Author: Electric low-t garrison telephone i explained why they settle in my initial poast, but your point about the id attorneys is helpful. if you were anything other than a nuisance piker, do you think corps would uniformly hire the absolute bottom-of-the-barrel sadsack lawyers to “defend” against your surely devastating legal assault? they’ve already priced it in, with the waste ultimately absorbed by everyone except your worthless clients and scamster colleagues. so congratulations!

Once you start taking cases, tell EVERYBODY YOU POSSIBLY CAN that you do PI. They will start sending people to you little by little.
Also, start reading books on how to manage a small business. The key to becoming and STAYING profitable is learning how to manage payroll while you're pushing the boulder uphill towards a settlement/verdict. |

The key to surviving summary judgment is proving that the employees fucked up by not following the corporate cleaning/safety policy.
You do that, you'll make it past SJ and head to a trial calendar. Once that happens, they'll fold and pay you. |

Date: December 16th, 2025 10:19 PM Author: silver seedy den cuckoldry It's open and obvious if you can prove that it ws not on the floor long enough for the store to clean it up.
If store performed floor checks every 15 min, then there is nothing they can do about fruit falling on the ground. No liability.
However, the store was unable to prove when was the last time it had performed a safety floor check, thus there was no way to prove that it was in compliance with its own safety policy. |

Date: December 25th, 2025 2:17 PM Author: the walter white of this generation (walt jr.) I've never done a slip and fall, but i've seen the facts of a handful (mediated one, had a shitlaw friend tell me about another, saw video that got passed around the trial lawyers of a third).
I'm obviously generalizing from a small sample, but it seems like to settle for this amount the facts have to be a lot more evocative than anyone normally thinks of when they think of a slip and fall.
I recall one being this old as fuck guy using a cane--he clearly should have been using a walker or a wheelchair, because he looked shaky as shit even just walking around normally--and the plf's att'y spliced together the footage of the different cameras of him slowly, creekily walking to an aisle that had spilled laundry detergent, and watching the leadup (and knowing basically what was going to happen) gave you that same 'oh no'/look-away feeling you get from watching a video that you know is going to gross you out or make you sad. |
