$225k Secured Settlement for Tripping on Walmart Forklift

Our client was a patron at Walmart located in the City of Redlands, California. Our client was unloading a craft table from the cart into their car when they tripped on an empty pallet jack left beside their car by an employee and fell on the ground onto their left wrist outstretched.

Upon impact, our client struck their head, neck, face, hands, back, and lower extremities against the ground. Our client sustained severe and debilitating injuries as a result of this incident.

As discussed below, the defendant failed to exercise ordinary care to keep the premises in a reasonably safe condition, actually and proximately causing our client’s resulting injuries.

Our client went to the emergency department of Loma Linda University Medical Center for evaluation and treatment of injuries sustained due to the trip and fall incident that occurred earlier in the day. Our client complained of pain in her left wrist and left forearm associated with swelling in their left wrist.
