Damages of over €25k for Dunnes Stores worker who slipped on gravy

A 54-year-old catering assistant, who claimed she has ongoing back pain since she slipped and fell on spilt gravy two years ago, has been awarded over €25,000 damages in the Circuit Civil Court against Dunnes Stores.

Vera Biskupova told the court that, on January 13, 2015, she had been cleaning the deli counter at Dunnes Stores, Cornelscourt, Bray Rd, Foxrock, Dublin, when she suddenly slipped and fell.

Ms Biskupova, with an address at Strollers Place, Ballyedmonduff Rd, Stepaside, Dublin, but who now lives in Killarney, Co Kerry, said she fell heavily on her back and banged her head off the floor.
