Slip And Fall

A Hartford jury delivered a defense verdict in the case of Beatrice Negron v. Walmart Real Estate Business Trust et al. Negron claimed she slipped on ice in the parking lot of a Manchester Walmart in February 2019, suffering lasting injuries to her shoulder, back, hip, knees, and wrist. She accused Walmart and its snow removal contractor of negligence for failing to clear or warn about the hazard. The defense argued that the store and contractor acted reasonably and that Negron was responsible for her own fall. After hearing weeks of testimony and reviewing medical records, the jury found Walmart and Birch Mountain Earthworks not liable, bringing the case to a close with no damages awarded to the plaintiff.
