IG--1M-Slip-and-Fall---Gary-Herjit

July 2025

Our client suffered significant injuries after slipping on a hazard that store staff failed to address. The fall led to long-term physical and cognitive issues, forcing the client to give up their business.

The defense disputed both liability and damages, pointing to pre-existing conditions and external economic factors. Despite the challenges, the case settled for $1,000,000 shortly before trial after a calculated and aggressive litigation approach.

Practice area(s): Personal Injury

Testimonials

“ I want to sincerely thank my attorney, Terry, and the entire team at Dordick Law for their incredible support and dedication. Although my case wasn’t a large one and the settlement was modest, they treated it with the same care and commitment as any major case. Terry’s time, effort, and compassion meant the world to me during a very challenging time. I’m especially grateful to my friend Jannette Cerda for referring me to Dordick Law and for being there every step of the way as my case manager. Her guidance and support made such a difference throughout the process. I’d also like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Araceli Alvarez and Brittney Rodriguez, the legal assistants on my case, for their professionalism, kindness, and constant communication. Their attention to detail and willingness to help at every step did not go unnoticed. Thank you again to Terry, Mr. Dordick, Jannette, Araceli, Brittney, and the entire Dordick Law team for everything. Your work makes a real difference, and I’m so thankful for all you’ve done. _”

“ After sustaining several injuries resulting in surgical procedures and ongoing pain from a commercial vehicle dragging my car, I am grateful I was referred to Dordick Law Firm. My first meeting with Dorick Law was with the founder of the firm, Gary Dordick. My initial and lasting impression of Gary Dordick was that he listened, genuinely cared about what I had endured since my accident, and wanted to help me. My case was assigned to Attorney Nicholas Myers and an outstanding team that worked not only to secure a settlement for my case but to ensure I received the medical treatment I needed to improve the quality of my life. Nicholas was responsive, compassionate, and determined to end my case with a settlement to support my long-term needs due to the injuries I had sustained. Nicolas Myers, Maricruz, Ali, Cristina, and the entire team at Dordick Law are indeed the voice and advocate for their client. A sincere thank you to each of you. _”
