Slip-And-Fall Accident In Movie Theater Bathroom Premises Liability Case – SETTLED $1.15 MILLION

A slip-and-fall accident in a movie theater bathroom resulted in a $1,150,000.00 settlement for a fractured patella resulting in two surgeries. The plaintiff sustained a shattered left patella when she slipped on a wet floor in the bathroom of a major movie theater chain in Woodridge, Illinois. The movie theater neglected to inspect the bathrooms before opening to the public that morning. The cleaning company they hired outsourced the task to the lowest bidder, who improperly cleaned the bathroom floor, leaving puddles that remained hours after the plaintiff’s fall. The plaintiff underwent two surgeries, first an ORIF (open reduction, internal fixation) and later a total knee replacement. The three defendants settled for a total of $1,150,000.
