One of the clients we represented in Pompano contacted us after a slip and fall accident. When he was working in a Winn Dixie store in the back room as an independent contractor, he slipped and fell on a liquid. He had to undergo two knee surgeries. We filed a lawsuit against the Winn Dixie store in Pompano where this incident occurred. During the phase that is called "discovery," we found that the company that was likely most liable was not in fact Winn Dixie, but the owner of the shopping center where this Winn Dixie was located. Winn Dixie's lease stated that the owner of the shopping center had a duty to maintain the roof, and sure enough, the reason for the wetness on the floor was a roof leak.

It turned out that this particular location had had numerous roof leaks, and the landlord had not resolved the problem. We filed the lawsuit against both Winn Dixie and the landlord, and their best offer before trial was $50,000.00 for this slip and fall accident. However, the jury decided that the defense case wasn't very strong, and awarded our client $533,000 plus. Cytryn & Velazquez and our client were very satisfied with that result.
