[Facility Liability Accident Case] Slip and Fall Accident in the Corridor of a Commercial Building's Food Court

Slipping and falling leads to facility compensation! Here is an example of a "station building company" being sued.

This article introduces a case of facility compensation that occurred in the "commercial building cafeteria corridor," illustrating why anti-slip measures are necessary. In this case, the corridor of the dining area in the station building was dirty due to "grease and oils specific to the cafeteria area," and the "station building company," responsible for managing the safety of passage for building users, was sued. A housewife from Tokorozawa City, Saitama Prefecture, filed a lawsuit against the station building company, claiming approximately 26 million yen in damages after she slipped and fractured her left leg due to the presence of oils on the corridor. The Tokyo District Court ruled that the company must pay about 22 million yen. [Accident Details] - The plaintiff slipped and fell in the corridor on the 7th floor of the building, resulting in a fracture of her left leg and leaving her with aftereffects that impaired the function of her left hip joint. - The ruling pointed out that "the corridor was used for entering and exiting the restaurant kitchen, and was dirty due to the transportation of ingredients and waste oil, with insufficient cleaning." - The court recognized damages exceeding 80% of the claimed amount, including medical expenses, caregiving costs incurred by her husband, lost income due to her inability to perform household duties as a housewife, and compensation for pain and suffering. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*
