San Francisco Slip, Trip, & Fall Accident Lawsuit Verdicts & Settlements  

• $2.38 million SETTLEMENT, Personal injury. A 72 year old woman suffered a severe spinal injury occasioned by a trip and fall on an uneven public sidewalk. Liability was highly contested in that the injured party had walked on this sidewalk almost daily for more than 25 years and there were few prior injuries at the location. The uneven sidewalk, ranging from inch to 1 inches off of level, was located in the sidewalk, at a driveway area, on Otis Street in front of a storage facility. The defendants alleged that the sidewalk defect was trivial and challenged whether it, versus a sudden feinting spell, was the cause of the fall. As a result of the action brought by The Dolan Law Firm the sidewalk along Otis Street, at Duboce, was also repaired and replaced to prevent further injury to pedestrians.

• $1.5 million SETTLEMENT, Premises liability, Falcon v. The Buckhorn Grill Restaurant. Plaintiff Frank Falcon, while working as a computer field technician, was called to The Buckhorn Bar & Grill Restaurant in Walnut Creek to repair a computer. While walking through the kitchen toward the computer, Mr. Falcon slipped on the tile floor that was covered in an inconspicuous puddle of grease, water, and dishwashing liquid which had come from the Buckhorn's large dishwashing sinks. Mr. Falcon slipped backward and fell hard on the ground landing on his head and upper back. Mr. Falcon suffered a severe posttraumatic concussion, severe debilitating traumatic migraine headaches, and a cervical spine injury caused by slamming his head onto Buckhorn's kitchen floor.

• $650,000.00 SETTLEMENT. Dangerous property condition, Nishihama v. Raleys. Plaintiff fell in a Merced grocery store as the result of compounds left on the floor by a remodeling company. Plaintiff sustained injuries to her shoulder and right leg, and to her neck and back.

• $350,000.00 SETTLEMENT. Raines v. Macys. Plaintiff suffered facial fractures, facial nerve damage, and post-concussive disorder. The Dolan Law Firm contended that the skates plaintiff was provided at the Union Square Skating Rink were not sharpened and failed to catch on the ice as he attempted a turn. Defendant claimed that ice is slippery.

• $265,000.00 SETTLEMENT. Slip and fall in an Antioch supermarket due to dirty aisles, resulting in knee surgery. Names confidential as condition of settlement.
