Greenstein & Pittari, LLP says it secured an $875,000 settlement for a woman injured in a Harlem supermarket slip-and-fall case filed in New York County Supreme Court.
Greenstein & Pittari, LLP said in an Aug. 31, 2026 press release that the case involved a 35-year-old woman who was shopping in a Harlem supermarket when she allegedly encountered a slippery floor and fell. The firm said the lawsuit was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, under Index No. 160573/2024.
The firm said the woman suffered spine injuries that required multiple epidural injections and a knee injury that required surgery. The release says the complaint alleged there was no wet-floor sign or other warning to alert customers to the hazard.
Valerie Hernandez, Esq., secured the settlement after litigation and negotiations, according to the release.
