$300,000 Settlement for Injuries from Collapsing Plant Racks

$300,000 paid at mediation to a 55-year-old woman who was shopping outside of a store when multi-level metal racks with flowers and plants collapsed on her due to 40 mph wind gusts. During depositions we demonstrated that store employees were aware that the ground on which they placed the racks was rutted and uneven and thus unstable. The plaintiff suffered a compression fracture to her L2 disc and a burst fracture in her L4 disc. Plaintiff testified that the injuries have left her unable to perform household chores, go to the gym and with difficulty walking without pain.
