We represented a woman who slipped and fell in TGI Fridays in Plantation. We initially didn't know why she slipped and fell, but the floor was slippery, according to her and the people with her. She ended up breaking her hip and had a rod inserted to stabilize the hip. We took the position that the polyurethane coated wood floors were unsafe in a restaurant type environment, and we were successful in obtaining a $248,000 jury verdict against this restaurant. This case ultimately became a leading decision in this state on the issue of requiring the other side to pay attorney's fees if one side made an offer and the other side exceeded it by a certain amount. TGI Friday's, Inc. v. Dvorak, 663 So.2d 606 (Fla. 1995). We are pleased that after this occurred, TGI Fridays changed their flooring in many of their restaurants. We think that our verdict and result helped convince TGI Fridays to make these changes to their floors.

There are many other restaurants in the City of Plantation that continue to have a problem with slippery floors.
