Our client was a vendor stocking goods in a large retail store in Duluth, GA. Suddenly, one of the retailer’s employees rushed out of a nearby cooler on a forklift, injuring our client before he could move out of the way.
The employee never stopped to check on our client nor did he report the incident to his employer. Our client suffered extensive injuries including significant damage to his ankle and missed several months of work following surgery. His medical bills were over $80,000.
The retailer claimed it could not identify the employee who injured our client and repeatedly denied the incident occurred at all. Attorney Eric Funt and The Champion Firm, Personal Injury Attorneys, P.C. filed suit and fought these arguments during litigation.
After taking depositions of the retailer's employees and corporate representatives during discovery, we were able to prove that the incident did indeed happen, that the forklift driver had violated many of the retailer's own policies and procedures, and that the retailer was liable. As a result, The Champion Firm, Personal Injury Attorneys, P.C. team recovered $225,000 for our client during the mediation process.
