Our client had injuries to her neck, shoulder and knee requiring surgeries after tripping and falling on debris left on the floor by store employee.
At trial, the defense attempted to claim that the unwitnessed accident would have been picked up by video, and the fact that video does not depict the accident calls into question whether or not the accident ever happened.
Upon further questioning, however, the defense witness admitted that the video camera globes in the area of the accident were nothing more than dummy camera heads which were installed solely as a visual deterrent to would-be shoplifters. There was no video of the accident since the cameras in the area of the accident were inoperable.
