A slip and fall case against Starbucks Corporation has settled for $4.8 million in Los Angeles.  Mildred and Edwin Rodgers have been engaged in the suit against the corporate coffee giant since September 15, 2010.

In November of 2005, Mildred Rodgers was entering a Pasadena Starbucks through its rear entrance when she tripped on a raised portion of the flooring.  The fall caused Mrs. Rodgers to fracture her leg and require surgery.  Soon after the surgery, she suffered a stroke.

Starbucks has denied any knowledge of the dangerous floor condition and also claimed they bared no responsibility for the trip and fall incident.  The case against Starbucks alleges that a Pasadena city health inspector cited the dangerous condition during an inspection and a contractor for Starbucks also warned the restaurant seven months earlier that the flooring needed to be replaced.

Before the settlement, the presiding judge ruled that there was sufficient evidence to allow a jury to decide if Starbucks acted with a conscious disregard for the safety of its customers.

A $100,000 lawsuit has been filed against Jefferson County after a slip and fall incident at the Jefferson County jail.  Noryour Akins (the suit does not clarify whether she was an inmate, county employee or visiting citizen), alleges there were no signs warning that the floor had recently been mopped.

The suit states that "Akins exited the officers' dining room and entered the hallway that had just been mopped by employees of the county or inmates."  The suit goes on to say that "The floor was still wet and there were no signs to warn her of this dangerous condition."

The resulting fall left Akins with injuries to her back, lower extremities, head and right shoulder.  She is now suing for more than $100,000 for alleged medical expenses, impairment, lost wages, and mental anguish.

In New Orleans, Orleans Parish Civil District Court has dismissed three defendants that were involved in a slip and fall suit.  Karno 327 Bourbon St. Real Estate, 327 Bourbon St. Inc, and karno SP Holdings were being sued by Rene Lopez after Lopez slipped inside of the Temptations Gentleman's Club, which leases a property owned by the defendants.

The lawsuit states that Lopez was a "business invitee" at Temptations when he "encountered defective and dangerous stairs and component parts and fell."  The lawsuit claims that the defendants are liable for damages associated with the fall.

The attorney for the three dismissed defendants argues that the filed motion "makes a blanket assertion that all named defendants failed to maintain the premises" when his clients were merely the owners of the building.  Their attorney also asserts that Temptations and Bourbon Burlesque Club, who are leasing the property, were responsible for maintaining the premises.

The plaintiff withdrew their charges against the defendants before a summary judgment could be set.
