So. The blatantly obvious question and answer is missing from all this...
Juries are spanking Walmart these days! What gives?
Black jury
Trial lawyers bounty
Like Jefferson county Mississippi
Tort lawyers Jenna Jameson of juries
> “The weakness of Walmart’s case, among other things, was their failure to produce a video...” <
It’s not the crime, it’s the cover-up.
This award will be rejected on appeal. South Carolina limits punitive damage awards to the greater of three times the actual damages or $500,000
I stepped on a rusty nail a few months ago. It was sore for a long time and caused me to limp around for a couple of months.
Do you think I collect a few bucks from my homeowner’s policy if I sued myself for negligence?
So this person never had a tetanus shot or got one after stepping on the nail, how dumb.
This article is sorely lacking in details.
Was she barefoot?
If there is no video.....how do they know it was Walmart
It could have been anywhere?
Was she barefoot.......
I stepped on a rusty nail in a Kroger parking lot. It penetrated the sole of my shoe. Never occurred to me to sue Kroger.
So the injury resulted in an infection that led to her leg being amputated below the knee.
Ouch
It was pure negligence on the part of the Wal Mart store. They admitted they didn’t follow policy about keeping the store clean and free of possible safety issues. They admitted that it was the nail that caused the injury and resulting medical issues. They screwed up start to finish and they’re paying the price for it.
Close that Walmart.
Note to self, carry a rusty nail with you.
Why according to the attorney? Is there no transcript the intrepid reporter might check to corroborate?
Rusty nail is a whisky drink she may had a few before going to the store?.
there are people that intentionally spill liquid on the floor of a store, then do a fake fall, so that they can sue the store. I knew a person who tried to do that.
I’ve known this for decades. You are more likely to catch tetanus from a clean kitchen knife then you are from a rusty nail.
