Gentleman's attempt to pull off a slip-and-fall scam foiled by security camera
Date: 2021-08-04 00:00:00

This fellow intentionally spilled water on a restaurant floor as part of a clever plan to con a restaurant into giving him a slip and fall settlement. But his scam was caught on camera, and instead of ending up on Easy Street as he hoped, he's just wet and sad.

According to Bernstein & Maryanoff, the "average slip and fall settlement is between $15,000 and $45,000."
