Is a wedding venue liable for a torn meniscus from a drink spilled on the dance floor?
Asked on Nov 18th, 2015 on Slip and Fall - Wisconsin
More details to this question:
I was dancing at my daughters wedding. There were people dancing with drinks in their hands. I slipped on a wet spot and tore my meniscus. I had surgery to repair it last week. So far I've been unable to work for a month. I expect at least 4 to 6 weeks for recovery.
I am sorry to hear about your accident and very serious injury: premises liability cases can be very tough to pursue; insurance companies routinely deny such claims forcing the injured person to have to start a lawsuit; I wrote a blog about this at our firm's website. In order to prevail, you would need to show that the venue, by its agents and employees, knew there was a dangerous condition and did nothing to correct the problem; that is not going to be easy to prove in your case.
