Rachel Stahle obtains defense verdict for Sonic Drive-In in premises liability case 

08/30/2010

Rachel Stahle recently obtained a defense verdict in Alisha Richardson v. Sonic Drive-In of Overland Park #5, LLC (Case No. 09CV09003) following a jury trial in Johnson County, Kansas. The lawsuit concerned Plaintiff's fall from a chair at a Sonic Drive-In that also had an inside dining area. Plaintiff alleged she flipped backwards in her chair due to improperly waxed floors. She allegedly sustained neurological and soft tissue injuries and incurred medical bills of approximately $6,500. Defendant argued its floors were properly waxed and that Plaintiff failed to keep a careful lookout. The jury deliberated approximately one hour before agreeing neither party was at fault. Plaintiff recovered nothing.
