Case Overview
This case involves a man in Ohio who suffered serious and permanent injuries after a slip and fall accident in a supermarket. At the time of the incident in question, the man was shopping in the canned goods aisle of the store. The aisle had experienced a significant spill of vegetable oil that extended the entire length of the aisle, and the aisle had been blocked off with a cone at one end but not the other. The man was not aware of the spill when he entered the aisle, since there were no additional cones or warning signs in place to indicate the dangerous condition to shoppers. As a result, the man slipped on the oil and fell, suffering a traumatic brain injury that has severely impacted his day-to-day life.
