Stephany Elaine Jones visited a Winn-Dixie store in Miami for routine grocery shopping when she slipped on a liquid left uncleaned in one of the aisles. The fall caused serious injuries, leading to a negligence lawsuit filed in March 2023. The jury found Winn-Dixie 70% responsible and awarded Jones $359,550 for medical expenses and pain and suffering. However, her compensation was later reduced due to comparative fault. The case spotlighted the duty of businesses to maintain safe premises and the shared responsibility of customers to be cautious.

A Fresno jury awarded Martha Lopez $821,989.68 after she slipped and fell inside a local Applebee’s. Lopez alleged the restaurant failed to maintain safe floors or post warnings. The jury agreed, finding Applebee’s negligent and fully responsible for her injuries, awarding both economic and non-economic damages.
