Description
Plaintiff, Mary Davis, filed suit against defendants, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., d/b/a/ Sam's Club, Lionel Johnson, the store supervisor, and ABC Insurance Company, alleging she was injured while shopping at a Sam's Club Store in Kenner, Louisiana. A jury trial on the merits was held on November 24, 1998 and the jury found that the defendants were not negligent or at fault, and thus, not liable to Ms. Davis. Upon the motion of Ms. Davis, the trial judge granted a judgment notwithstanding the verdict (JNOV) and conditional new trial, holding that the defendants were liable to plaintiff and awarded plaintiff $23,396.38 in past medical expenses and $125,000 in general damages. The court of appeal affirmed the trial court's decision, with an amendment to add a $40,000 award for future medical expenses.
