Plaintiff grocery vendor settles after having wage loss and permanency claims barred
Attorney Michael Radak successfully barred significant aspects of plaintiff’s claim to warrant a significantly reduced settlement. Plaintiff, a grocery vendor, slipped and fell on a wet floor behind the fish counter at the defendant’s grocery store. Plaintiff incurred approximately $36,000 in medical bills with significant lost wages. Plaintiff’s pre-trial demand was $300,000. After ruling on motions in limine, which barred plaintiff’s wage loss claim and aspects of his claimed damages, plaintiff accepted $20,000 to settle the case.
