Allison Judkins, then 50, claimed she slipped and fell in water on the floor at a West Palm Beach Chipotle Mexican Grill near the food toppings stand after ordering in June 2012. Judkins was diagnosed with a concussion at the hospital and was diagnosed with disc herniations at C4-5, C5-6 and C6-7. She underwent a three-level cervical fusion and claimed lifestyle limitations. Judkins’ counsel blamed the fall on the company’s failure to repair its leaking roof.
The defense argued Judkins was comparatively negligent for not watching where she was going and a caution sign was posted, but the jury found otherwise, awarding her $1.35 million.
