Our client was a registered nurse, married with children, who sustained a lumbar (back) injury requiring a single-level discectomy surgery after she tripped over a dolly left in the aisle at Wal-Mart by an employee. Wal-Mart refused to offer more than a very small amount in settlement. Suit was filed in federal court in New Orleans. At trial, a jury awarded a total of $447,000.
