How Payer Law Recovered $389,000 for an Individual injured in a Store in Miami
How the Injury at The Store Happened
I was grinding coffee at a well-known mega store. The tray fell off the bottom of the coffee maker, landed point-down on the top of my foot, and it broke the bone on the very top of my foot.
The Store’s Response and the Missing Video
Because the store has cameras all over, they wanted to see how the incident occurred and said someone would get back to me with video evidence, but that never happened.
Ongoing Pain, Swelling, and Surgeries for Our Client
The pain was consistent. I would go home at night and my foot would be swollen again, for two months, until I went to seek help. By that time, I had already had two surgeries and was still in the process of learning how to live with a permanent injury.
The “Insulting” Offer and the Document They Wanted Me to Sign
Then they started making these offers, and it was insulting. They wanted me to sign a document for $250 to see a doctor, but it was actually to release them from liability.
The reason I found that out was because I kept the letter and showed it to James Payer, and he said, “You’re not going to sign this.”
Working With Payer Law
From that point on, Payer Law handled my case. From the time I met them, I could tell they were for their clients. They’re not just about the money. I felt they were trustworthy.
When something like this happens to you, you don’t know what to do. You need someone who can walk you through the steps. They give you all the scenarios and help you make the right decision.
The Result: Winning at Trial
The store countered us in the process and actually lost. We ended up getting more than what we even expected from the judge.
Payer Law won me $389,000 at trial for my case — when the company offered $250 — and I couldn’t be happier.
Why I Recommend Payer Law
I have referred people to Payer Law — many people who have won their case. They know what they’re doing.
