Josephine Monsini v. Kohl's Department Stores, Inc.

Date:

April 2008

Venue:

Brockton District Court
Brockton, Massachusetts

Case Summary:

We successfully defended this suit filed against our client, Kohl's Department Stores, Inc., alleging negligence and negligent supervision and training. The plaintiff alleged that she was struck in the back by heavy boxes on a two wheel hand truck which was being used by a Kohl's employee to move merchandise within the store. The plaintiff claimed that this impact caused her to sustain an aggravation of her pre-existing lumbar conditions, including compression fractures and osteoporosis, and an exacerbation of numerous medical conditions, leaving her incapable of performing her usual daily activities to present. We argued that the alleged accident did not occur, and that the medical evidence established that the plaintiff did not sustain any new injury or an aggravation or exacerbation of any pre-existing injury or condition.

Results:

After a two-day trial, the jury deliberated for just over an hour and returned a verdict for our client.
