Slip and Fall Accident in Sacramento

Our client had just purchased some flowers for a funeral and began to walk back to her car from the flower shop.  The parking lot for the flower shop was in poor condition with multiple cracks and notably an uplifted lip on the drainage channel near the middle of the parking lot.   Our client was unable to perceive this tripping hazard while carrying the flowers and assumed the area was safe to walk in.  She tripped on the lip, fell and suffered severe knee injuries.   Defendant attempted to place blame on plaintiff for her fall, but Curtis Legal Group hired an engineer to inspect the area and draft a compelling report detailing the dangerous condition.  The case settled shortly after presenting the liability evidence to the carrier.
