£8,500 in compensation for holiday slip

A holidaymaker who slipped on a wet marble floor has won £8,500 in compensation for the injuries she suffered. The woman was on a package holiday at a hotel in Tenerife when the accident happened. As she walked through the hotel, she slipped on a wet marble floor and injured her wrist. There was no indication that the floor was being cleaned - no cleaning staff were nearby and there was no sign warning that the floor was slippery. As the marble surface was very shiny, it was not apparent that the floor was wet. However, the woman was soaking wet after her fall.
