Kevin J. Greene recently obtained a defendant’s verdict in New Haven Superior Court in a case involving a big box retailer. The plaintiff claimed she slipped and fell on water entering the North Haven, Connecticut store, sustaining significant physical injuries. The case was defended successfully by presenting evidence that water was not present on the floor for a sufficient length of time such that the retailer could be deemed to have constructive notice of the defect and that the retailer had reasonable measures and precautions in place to properly monitor the safety of the floors in the store.
