Sandra Primrose Vs Walmart Case Summary
Sandra Primrose versus Wal-Mart Case
The claim made by Plaintiff Sandra Primrose demanded procedural examination of her injury case against Wal-Mart stores and consequent compensation in regard to a concussion and the injuries she sustained upon consideration of her case by the court. However, Wal-Mart responded by claiming lack of material fact on the side of the plaintiff and requested the court to favor the procedure to their advantage by rendering summary judgment in accordance with Ricks v. City of Monroe, 44,811 (La.App. 2 Cir. 12/0/09), 26 So.3d 858, writ denied, 2010–0391 (La.5/28/10), 36 So.3d 247 and in their favor according to Ricks, supra; Freeman v. Teague, 37, 932 (La.App. 2 Cir. 12/10/03), 862 So.2d 371.

Considering that the complainant is in her 73rd year, this means that she is vulnerable to injuries resulting from adverse conditions such as the nature of Wal-Mart displays due to her condition at the time of incidence (age). If the court considers her first point of error, “whether the protruding corner of the crate was visible to her under the circumstances presented in this case’, then there is reason to do away with summary judgment. Logically, at 73, she might not have been able to see the protruding corner as well as the warning provided by the Wal-Mart due to her physical limitations.
In summary, the proof that the condition that led to plaintiff Primrose’ injury can determine the outcome of the case and also potentially ensures and precludes recovery in accordant with King v. Illinois Nat. Ins. Co., 08–1491 (La.4/3/09), 9 So.3d 780; Dowdy v. City of Monroe, 46, 693 (La.App.2d Cir.11/2/11), 78 So.3d 791. Therefore, Wal-Mart should not be granted summary judgment.

    The question being presented today, is if both parties involved are equally responsible? Ms. Smith does in fact possibly hold some sort of comparative fault in this case. The grocery store did complete their scheduled aisle check just thirty minutes before Ms. Smith slipped. IND. Code Ann. §34-51-2-5 (WEST 1998) states that “in an action based on fault, any contributory fault chargeable to the claimant diminishes proportionately the amount awarded as compensatory damages for an injury attributable to the claimants contributory fault, but does not bar recovery”.…

    This Court should grant the Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment because this Court should apply the law of East Kansas. This case involves a conflict of law issue because West Kansas’s law provides that worker’s compensation is the exclusive remedy for employees, who are victims of intentional torts, while East Kansas says that worker’s compensation is not the exclusive remedy. Under the governmental interest approach to conflicts of law, this Court should resolve this conflict in favor of East Kansas because it has an interest in applying its law, while West Kansas does not.…

    Wal-Mart Discrimination

    Legally, morally and practically I believe Wal-Mart should be fined in order to prevent further discrimination against women. Clearly this is a culture they have created within the organization therefore being carried out nationwide throughout all Wal-Mart locations. Since Wal-Mart entered the market they have opened many stores creating more business for themselves while taking some from their competitors such as Target. Their internal revenue without a doubt has sky rocketed and continues to do so as they open more stores. Fining Wal-Mart enough to impact them will allow them to continue creating their new pay system in order to prevent further discrimination and large gaps in pay between male and female.…
