A Lee County jury said Wal-Mart owes a Fort Myers woman $1 million because its negligence caused her to fall and injure her neck.
Linda Gail Wright, now age 57, slipped at the North Fort Myers Wal-Mart on Oct. 30, 2002 while searching for Halloween candy.
She slipped on a puddle of oil and water that had spilled from rotisserie chickens, which were packaged by Wal-Mart in plastic containers.As a result, Wright, an avid horse trainer and rider, underwent multiple cervical spine surgeries. She now has a permanent titanium cage stabilizing her neck.
Wright owes more than $123,000.00 in medical bills.
Throughout the trial, Wright’s attorneys highlighted Wal-Mart’s failure to follow many of its own policies and procedures in regards to keeping its floors safe and clean for customers.
