Restaurant Customer Trip and Fall – Fractured Ankle
How It Happened
Our client was a patron at a restaurant. While walking on an unlevel dirt and gravel pathway leading into the
restaurant, she stepped on a protruding object that caused her to trip and rolled her foot in an awkward manner.
She immediately noticed swelling and experienced significant pain and discomfort, resulting in a fracture to her
right foot.
Injuries sustained from the accident
As a result of this accident, our client sustained serious injuries to her right foot, including a fracture to
the base of her right fifth metatarsal. She was instructed to wear the boot for eleven weeks.
