McDonalds and Walmart Settle Slip and Fall Case

Rather than continue with litigation, both Wal-mart and McDonalds decided to settle out of court with a woman who was suing them for her slip and fall accident.

The complaint, filed by Cheryl Gilpatrick on Aug. 9, claimed that she was shopping at Wal-mart when she slipped and fell on some soda that had spilled outside of the McDonalds. The suit goes on to state that, "According to witnesses at the scene, several of the Wal-mart employees were working in the area at the time and at least one of them made comments that she actually saw a customer spilling soda out of the cup while walking away from the coke bin."

In her suit, Gilpatrick was suing for impairment, medical expenses and alleged lost wages. At this time the details of the final settlement have yet to be released.
