Case Details

Carol Baron tripped over a “U-boat” product stocking cart negligently left in an aisle, suffering a severe humerus fracture, biceps and rotator cuff tears, and later diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS).

Additional Notes

Video evidence documented Ms. Baron’s fall. A new diagnosis of CRPS significantly increased the case value. Heinrich Law established liability through joint venture and vicarious liability theories against Grocery Outlet. A San Francisco jury found J&A and Grocery Outlet jointly liable, assigning 80% fault to defendants. The jury awarded $6.6 Million, reduced to $5,280,000 for comparative fault. Following trial, the parties entered into a binding settlement for $5,780,000.
