Personal injury firm wins settlement for woman injured in Unidos supermarket slip and fall.
KISSIMMEE, Fla., April 29, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The team at Chalik & Chalik Injury Lawyers is proud to announce that Debi Chalik, one of the firm's founding partners, won a $200,000 out-of-court settlement for a woman who slipped and fell on a puddle of water in the produce aisle of a grocery store. The incident occurred on April 10, 2020, at a Unidos supermarket in Kissimmee, FL.
The victim, a 59-year-old Hispanic woman, was brought to Poinciana Medical Center and had an MRI taken of her right shoulder. The results showed a shoulder tear that required surgery. Unfortunately, the insurance company claimed that Unidos was not at fault and refused to cover the cost of medical treatment. Luckily, Chalik & Chalik stepped in to help.
Since the victim spoke only Spanish, the team's bilingual staff worked with her to investigate the incident and file a civil suit. Chalik & Chalik found that after her fall, an employee put up a warning sign. The firm was able to prove that the water was on the floor, the store should have known about the safety hazard, and the victim fell as a result.
According to the general release, Chalik & Chalik responded to this incident by filing "Case NO.: 2021-CA-003023-ON, referenced under Claim No. 1-108477," with the Osceola County Circuit Court.
Once the personal injury firm filed a lawsuit against the supermarket chain, the case was settled at mediation. The legal team at Chalik & Chalik is thrilled with the outcome of this case, as the $200,000 slip and fall settlement will allow the victim to cover her medical bills and recuperate from her slip and fall injury.
This isn't Chalik & Chalik's first supermarket injury case. In fact, the firm has represented slip and fall accident victims injured in several grocery stores throughout Florida, including Unidos, Publix, Winn Dixie, Target, Aldi, Wal-Mart, and Sam's Club.
