A Recent Hampshire woman and her husband have taken legal motion against Eataly Boston LLC for an ankle injury that she says she suffered from slipping on a bit of meat within the Italian market.
Within the Friday lawsuit, Alice and Ronald Cohen allege a count of negligence and a count of lack of consortium in connection to the wife suffering a fracture that they are saying resulted from her slipping on prosciutto on Eataly Boston’s floor. The prosciutto-related fall occurred roughly 10 months ago as they visited the market, in line with the grievance.
She slipped and fell near where customers could try samples of food, the lawsuit said. Her injury was described as a “left ankle sprain and distal fibular avulsion fracture.”
The lawsuit accuses Eataly Boston of “breach[ing] [its] duties by failing to make sure that the ground was secure for Plaintiff and other patrons, by failing to make sure that the ground was free from unnecessary dangerous conditions, by failing to adequately prevent and/or remove hazards from the premises and by failing to warn Plaintiff of the harmful conditions.”

FOX Business reached out to Eataly and the couple’s lawyer for comment. The Massachusetts capital city has had the 45,000-square-foot Eataly location for the reason that fall of 2016.
Within the lawsuit, the Cohens request damages “sufficient to compensate them fully and fairly for all of the injuries and damages, including physical and emotional pain and suffering, and lack of consortium.” Additionally they want “interest costs and such further relief because the Court may deem proper,” in line with the grievance.
They’ve seen greater than $7,500 in costs for treatment of the wife’s ankle injury, a filing said. The grievance argues that damages could top $50,000.
The Eataly brand dates to the 2000s, when founder Oscar Farinetti created the primary one in Italy.
