Palmisano v. Inserra

Plaintiff claimed to have suffered two (2) herniated lumbar discs and a torn right medial meniscus as a result of the failure of defendant to properly design the aisles in its retail establishment. Further, plaintiff claimed that the dangerous and hazardous condition upon which she was caused to fall was brought about as a result of the use of a dangerous and hazardous free-standing shelf that was caused to have been knocked over by another customer of the defendant. Plaintiff’s demand was $650,000. After a week and a half of trial, the jury returned a verdict of no cause of action against plaintiff.
