Seattle, United States – August 21, 2019 / Seattle Injury Law /

Seattle injury Law recently helped Michael Smith from Sumner, WA settle with Walmart for $325,000 for an accident that happened on its premises. The accident occurred when Michael, an elderly gentleman, was shopping at the Auburn Walmart Supercenter on 3/31/2018. 

As Mr. Smith was looking for his family by the front of the store, unbeknownst to him there was a water puddle that blended into the color of the floor. This water had been pooling for hours, unchecked, and was caused by a mini-fridge’s leaking cooling unit. When Michael walked into the water, he slipped with all of his weight, landing on his other leg full force, fracturing his tibia, femur, and ankle. Though the spill and fall were caught on video, Walmart offered $0 to help with surgery/medical expenses before he met Robert Sears with Seattle Injury Law.

Here we are today, having settled his case for $325,000 and Michael is on the road to a full recovery. Mr. Smith says, “All along I just wanted my medical expenses paid. I had never made a claim in my life and just wanted the situation to be handled fairly by Walmart. At first, they told me they would cover my medical bills, but as time went by and expenses grew, they backed away from their promise. They didn’t offer anything until my attorney at Seattle Injury Law got involved. They made Walmart look at my claim with new eyes. They couldn’t take advantage of an unrepresented victim anymore.”

About fighting for Michael Smith’s expenses and winning, Robert Sears describes his experience. “Representing such an honest and sincere man has been an honor and a joy. All along Michael just wanted Walmart to do the right thing. I know firsthand how difficult the road to recovery has been for him and his family. We thank them immensely for trusting us with their claim as both their attorneys and counselors through this process. We couldn’t be happier to obtain this level of result for Michael. In life, some people just stick with you, and Michael is among them.”
