James McSweeney Solicitors recently secured settlement in the sum of €110,000.00 for a client who suffered injuries to her lower back.

In summary, our client who was working for a leading Irish supermarket hurt her lower back when she slipped on drips from a sink and from a dishwasher machine.  Her employers, the Defendants, had no absorbent mats in place even though they knew these drips were occurring from the sink and the dishwasher.  An Engineers inspection indicated that the tiles are slippery when wet and concedes that there were no absorbent mats in place.  The Defendants blamed our client for washing the floor and alleged that she knew the floor was wet after washing and she should have watched her step. The case was settled outside of Court for €110,000.00.
