Halloran & Sage obtained a defendant’s verdict in a matter in which a national discount department store was accused of not providing a safe, handicap parking space for an elderly shopper. The plaintiff alleged that life altering injuries were suffered by the already disabled client after a fall in the store parking lot. Evidence presented included information regarding the parking lot, the store’s policies, procedures, and response to the incident, as well as videos, photos and statements. The jury concluded that plaintiff did not meet her burden of proof that zoning regulations and safety standards were violated and found that reasonable care and common sense were not exhibited by the plaintiff. A defendant’s verdict was obtained.
