The most
recent one slip and fall lawsuit filed against Wal-Mart was filed by Cheryl
Raines, the wife of a recently deceased man. She claims that the trip and fall her husband sustained while in Wal-Mart led to his kidney failure and, fourteen days later, death. The crate was difficult to see, causing him to trip over it and sustain the above injuries. The suit claims that Wal-Mart and its manager were negligent in warning customers of this hazard.
Raines is seeking an unspecified amount, more than the minimum limits and damages, for lost companionship, and funeral and burial costs.
