To the outside world it seemed as if everything he touched turned to gold. But it was because of his resistance to failure on every level that spurred him forward. His mantra to his children and grandchildren was to resist, resist, resist when they were considering a short term pleasure or acquisition over the long term gain. He wasn't interested in perfection, he was determined to find the potential in everyone he met.
Anyone else, reaching their 75th birthday with so much to be thankful for, might decide to step back and enjoy his success. William wasn't just anyone. There was always something new around the corner and if it could help his family, his business and his community, he wasn't going to stop. There was still so much more to do, he just needed help figuring out what the next step was going to be.
No one heads to dine in their favorite restaurant down the street expecting to slip and slide across a greasy dining room floor, violently crash like a sack of potatoes, bust open the back of their skull, and spend the remainder of their night in an emergency room, or the remainder of their life from the confines of a wheelchair. Unfortunately, however, these things happen every day - many times a day - in restaurants of all types and sizes across America and around the globe. In fact, there are roughly 11,000 slip-and-fall incidents per day in America's restaurants alone. So, you must be asking... What's wrong with America's restaurants?
The best answer we can give is this: the restaurant industry in America is covered up with incompetence, apathy, and management neglect. Competent management oversight is often non-existent and the cesspool of mediocrity and below-industry standard performance is putting us all at risk...making the restaurant industry the most dangerous industry on the planet. That's what's going on!
Inside this book, court-testifying Forensic Scientist and Restaurant Expert Witness Howard Cannon reveals what makes restaurant slip and falls different from any other industry, the scientific formula for risk, the four biggest restaurant slip and fall hazards, the secret sauce behind restaurant slip and falls, the steps to create a culture of safety, and much more!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Aidan Ellis is a barrister at Temple Garden Chambers practising in credit hire and personal injury. He has written and lectured on credit hire and is also the co-editor of the Personal Injury Brief Update Law Journal (www.pibriefupdate.com).
On November 1, 2018 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, the San Francisco 49ers hosted the Oakland Raiders on a nationally televised Thursday Night Football game with additional Security including over 400 Law Enforcement Officers. But not one of those 'Sworn to Protect and Serve' was even aware of a brutal beating incident until a single visiting Oakland Raider's fan put himself in harm's way to contain, restrain and bring the assailant to arrest and custody.
This 'Good Samaritan' contacted the Santa Clara Police, Levi's Stadium Management and even talked with the NFL before all parties 'went dark' because of who the 'Good Samaritan' was.
In this explosive book, as an attorney for this case, In Pro Per, Fred Weaver details the chaos and lack of security at Levi's Stadium, leading to recent 'near fatal' attacks, and personal injury lawsuits. Weaver also exposes Santa Clara Police Department 'corruption', City of Santa Clara 'dirty laundry' and the City of Santa Clara Council Members' 'toxic' relationship with the San Francisco 49ers entities, making Levi's Stadium the Most Dangerous Public Venue in North America.
And the NFL tries to avoid any discussion of the quietly escalating issue of fan violence at your team's stadium as well...
This piece of legal work by Fred Weaver is destined to be studied for decades to come. A must-read for anyone caring about their safety at any type of national and international stadium sporting event or music concert and anyone interested in justice. An absolutely required reading for anyone pursing law or criminal justice as a life passion.
FRED WEAVER works worldwide, often on complex and sensitive investigations. His experience crosses several industry sectors and geographies. He advises and provides investigation for security and fraud prevention support to governments, companies and organizations.
