2011-L-6225 (Illinois, Cook County)
At an arts center in the Chicagoland area, an elderly woman fell over a crate and sued the arts facility. Ultimately plaintiff took the matter to trial and asked a jury for over $100,000 in damages. Jessica Biagi represented the arts facility, and showed that there was nothing unusual or negligent about the crate, and emphasized that just because someone fell, this does not meet a legal definition of negligence. Ultimately the jury agreed and returned a full defense verdict.
