65 year old woman slipped and fell in a puddle of water in VONS, fracturing her femur in 3 places. VONS under oath twice denied water, until we found past store manager in Colorado who verified two cups of water, photos and report. VONS was “unable” to verify who signed their floor sweep-inspections records. Also dairy case maintenance records showed poor equipment maintenance and request for “band-aid” fix. Offer ZERO, mediator ultimately convinced VONS to pay six figures one month before trial. State Medi-Cal recouped $12,000.00 of “out of pocket” payments paid to client’s medical providers, thereby saving California taxpayers from paying for VONS’ negligence.
