[Edinburg, Texas]– The Carlson Law Firm is proud to announce a successful settlement of $385k in a slip and fall case, ensuring justice for a 35-year-old veteran who suffered severe injuries at a national retailer in Edinburg, Texas, due to negligence.
The veteran’s long-term injury began on December 4, 2021, when the Edinburg resident slipped on an unmarked wet rug while shopping in the produce section. The victim’s fall resulted in serious injuries, including a cervical injury that required surgery. A store associate witnessed the incident. Carlson’s legal team fought tirelessly to hold the major retailer accountable so a fair settlement could be negotiated.
“Our client’s settlement is a testament to our dedication to fighting for the rights of injury victims,” said Cynthia Nevarez De Santiago, personal injury attorney at The Carlson Law Firm’s Laredo and San Antonio offices. “No one should suffer because of a property owner’s negligence, and we are proud to have secured fair compensation for our client.”
The settlement amount will help cover the client’s medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.“Far too often, victims face unfair settlement offers that fail to reflect the true impact of their injuries,” said Steve Dummitt, personal injury partner at The Carlson Law Firm’s Laredo and San Antonio offices.“Our goal is to ensure they receive fair compensation that helps them move forward with their lives.” This case highlights the importance of property owners maintaining safe conditions for visitors and customers.
Slip & Fall Injuries at a national retailer fall under the category of Premise injuries, such as a patron’s slip and fall, often result in low settlement offers or no offers at all, especially if not represented by an experienced trial attorney. Proper case evaluation from experienced attorneys is necessary to seek the maximum outcome for victims of negligence and potentially prevent victims from losing money. In addition to general damages, victims may seek compensation to help them recover from the financial and physical impact of their injury or adjust to life with a new disability.
As part of the legal strategy, Carlson’s legal team made efforts to obtain key information from the commercial entity before filing a formal lawsuit. This approach helps assess the validity of a claim, promotes efficiency in the legal process, and ensures all parties have a clearer understanding of the circumstances before proceeding with litigation.
The Carlson Law Firm remains committed to advocating for those harmed by negligence and ensuring they receive the justice they deserve.
