Story 1: The Wet Floor Debacle
John, a maintenance worker, was tasked with cleaning the floors of a local supermarket. One evening, as he was mopping the entrance area, he failed to put up caution signs or warn customers about the potential hazard. Unaware of the wet floor, Jill, an elderly lady, entered the supermarket and promptly slipped and fell, injuring her hip in the process.
This accident led to a legal battle, as Jill sought compensation for her medical expenses and pain and suffering. During the trial, an expert witness specializing in slip and fall incidents testified that the supermarket's negligence in providing proper warnings made them liable for Jill's injuries. Supported by this expert's analysis of the incident, Jill was awarded the compensation she deserved.
Story 2: The Neglected Staircase
In another case, Sarah, a college student, was on her way to an evening class when she tripped and fell on a loose step of a staircase in her university building. Sarah suffered a fractured wrist and a sprained ankle, requiring extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation.
The university claimed that Sarah was solely responsible for her fall, citing her alleged negligence. However, Sarah's legal team engaged the services of a slip and fall expert witness who conducted a thorough analysis of the staircase's maintenance records. Through examination of the records, the expert witness found that the university had neglected regular inspections and necessary repairs, leading to the dangerous condition of the stairs.
The expert's testimony proved instrumental in establishing the university's liability for Sarah's injuries. Thanks to the expert's insights, Sarah not only received compensation for her medical expenses but also brought attention to the need for improved safety measures in the university's infrastructure.
Story 3: The Greasy Food Court Floor
Amelia owned a small restaurant located in a busy shopping mall. One afternoon, as a customer named Mark made his way to the food court, he slipped and fell on a greasy patch of the floor just outside Amelia's establishment. Mark suffered a significant back injury, resulting in ongoing pain and an inability to work.
Amelia was adamant that she had appropriately cleaned the area and disputed any negligence on her part. However, a slip and fall expert witness was called upon to examine the evidence, including surveillance footage and Mark's medical reports. The expert witness pointed out that Amelia may have neglected to use proper cleaning agents, contributing to the slippery surface.
With the expert witness's testimony, Mark successfully proved that Amelia's negligence resulted in his injuries. He was awarded compensation to cover his medical costs, lost income, and future rehabilitation expenses.
These real-life stories demonstrate the crucial role that slip and fall expert witnesses play in legal proceedings. By carefully analyzing the facts and applying their specialized knowledge, these experts help victims seek justice and hold responsible parties accountable.
Slip and fall accidents can have devastating consequences for the victims, both physically and emotionally. Through the testimony of expert witnesses, their stories can be told and heard, ultimately leading to fair compensation and the implementation of necessary safety measures.

When watching the evening news you can be led to believe that most slip and fall claims are bogus and nothing more than a scam designed to fleece business owners and the insurance industry for money. But not all Plaintiffs are scam artists, and not all victims are seeking to cash in on their injury. Falls can affect each of us. The next victim could be your mother, your brother, your spouse or child…and oh yes, even you!
The truth of the matter is, each year millions of personal injury lawsuits are filed by victims of a slip, trip and fall accidents, most of which are settled out of court. However, over the past decade there has been a noticeable rise in the average settlement as well as jury verdicts. As an expert witness, Russell J. Kendzior has been retained in more than 700 slip, trip, and fall lawsuits and has now compiled over 50 of his top cases in Floored!
Rather than debate the truth behind slip, trip and fall litigation Kendzior sets the record straight and provides the reader with a behind the curtain view of the people filing these lawsuits and the companies being sued. This book is a great resource that explains what can be done to prevent the injury and thus the lawsuit through the eyes of a safety expert and stories of real-world victims.
