June's Story: A Victim of Negligence Finds Justice With Help From Andy Citrin Injury Attorneys

After the fall, June struggled constantly with pain. Even though she sought medical treatment, her emotional and physical condition got worse.

After doctors decided that restorative surgery was too risky, June decided to undergo epidural steroid injections to her spine. These shots allowed June to continue working through the pain, but eventually, the constant discomfort, sleepless nights, depression, and inability to go about her daily life became too much. June’s employer finally laid her off, and she knew it would be impossible for her to find work again in her condition.

June realized she had to do something to get justice and compensation for her severe injury. That’s when she called Andy Citrin Injury Attorneys.

The Andy Citrin Injury Attorneys team investigated June’s fall and discovered that the Waffle House’s wheelchair ramp was unsafe. The ramp’s blue paint wasn’t fortified with grit; adding grit to paint is a standard safety practice because it helps increase traction in wet weather. Instead, water was beading on the paint at the time of June’s fall, creating a dangerous oily sheen that could cause anyone to slip — even a cautious and sensible person like June, who was wearing rain boots.

June had trusted Waffle House, a high-profile restaurant chain with thousands of locations and significant resources, to make sure their wheelchair ramp was safe to use. Instead, the ramp was a slippery nightmare that posed a risk to restaurant patrons.
