A $650,000 settlement has been reached in a case brought by a Southwest Philadelphia man who broke his elbow after allegedly slipping on a wet floor while breakdancing in a banquet hall. "To the best of our knowledge, there is no caselaw on breakdancing" in the slip-and-fall context, said Mark Richter, the plaintiffs attorney in the case. The plaintiff had alleged that the banquet hall was responsible for his fall because it was caused by watery leftovers of a recent mopping.
