Case Details
A Michigan court awarded a heart surgeon almost $4 million when he tripped and fell over a trailer hitch in 1995 in the parking lot of a Sam’s Club. The surgeon claimed there should have been a safety cone marking the trailer hitch. Consequently, the heart surgeon suffered an injury to his spinal cord, which meant he was no longer able to perform surgery, as the injury caused his hands to shake. The original verdict was more than $5 million, but was reduced because the jury believed there was comparative negligence on the part of the surgeon.
Additional Notes
