$242,500 Settlement for Slip and Fall on Tiled Floor

$242,500 awarded to a Staten Island housewife who, while visiting friends, slipped on their tiled kitchen floor, fracturing her ankle and requiring an open reduction/internal fixation (ORIF). In opposition to the defendant’s argument that they had no notice of the dangerous condition, we gathered through testimony that the same tile had been removed and replaced in another section of the house because of its slippery nature, and the kitchen had multiple sources of water – a leaking refrigerator, a dog’s water bowl, and kids swimming in the family pool and tracking wet feet across the kitchen.
