Grocer fails to train stock clerks
Woman awarded $1,175,000 settlement for damages
A 38 year old home attendant was shopping at a local supermarket near her home in the Bronx when suddenly six gallon jugs of juice fell on her head and shoulders exasperating previous cervical injuries. As a result of the incident, she sustained worsening of a pre-existing cervical herniated disc and a tear in her left shoulder. She sued the store in state court, arguing that the store’s employees were negligent in the manner in which they had stacked the juice bottles. She was awarded a $1,175,000 settlement.
