A slip-and-fall incident at a popular restaurant chain has led to a lawsuit alleging negligence and seeking substantial damages. On March 30, 2024, Peter Innaurato filed a complaint in the Delaware County Court of Common Pleas against JRI Hospitality Management, also known as Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers.
The plaintiff, Peter Innaurato, claims that he suffered serious injuries after slipping on an unknown liquid in the restroom of Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers located at 2004 Sproul Road, Broomall, PA. According to the complaint, Innaurato was lawfully on the premises when he encountered the hazardous condition. The suit alleges that Freddy’s failed to maintain a safe environment for its patrons by not inspecting or correcting dangerous conditions in the restaurant. "Defendant knew and/or should have known of the said dangerous conditions," states the complaint, highlighting that such negligence directly resulted in Innaurato's injuries.
Innaurato's legal representation, Jason E. Fine from J. Fine Law Group, PC., emphasizes multiple failures on part of Freddy’s management. These include inadequate training of employees regarding spill clean-up procedures and failure to warn customers about potential hazards. The lawsuit outlines various aspects of negligence: "failing to inspect...repair or protect from defective and/or hazard conditions," "failure to properly and adequately train employees," and "failure to provide safe conditions for invitees."
As a result of the incident, Innaurato claims to have sustained severe spine and shoulder injuries necessitating ongoing medical treatment and rehabilitation. He asserts that these injuries have impaired his ability to perform daily activities and may continue to affect his earning capacity indefinitely. The complaint further details emotional distress experienced by Innaurato due to the accident: "Plaintiff has suffered severe physical pain...mental anguish...and loss of life’s pleasures."
The plaintiff is seeking damages exceeding $50,000 along with interest and court costs. This sum aims to cover medical expenses incurred so far as well as future costs related to ongoing treatment and rehabilitation needs.
Representing Peter Innaurato is attorney Jason E. Fine from J. Fine Law Group, PC., while details about defense counsel are not provided in the document. The case will be presided over by judges from Delaware County Court under Case ID: TERM 2024 NO.
