Castros v. Vukson, (JD of Stamford – filed October 10, 2013) The plaintiff has gone through extensive back and neck surgeries since a very damaging fall in a parking lot owned by the defendant. The parking area where this occurred had a combination of slick surface and large cracks that made it particularly dangerous for people carrying heavy items. The surface was slick because of years of accumulated oil and grease. The lot is right outside an auto parts store and standard practice is to periodically lay down a degreaser. This was never done. While carrying supplies from the store, the plaintiff tripped on a crack and then slipped on the grease–going down and severely injuring his back which is now fully fused.
