Employer Negligence
A CONVENIENCE STORE EMPLOYEE IN SACRAMENTO CHASED A SHOPLIFTER OUT INTO THE STORE PARKING LOT, WHERE THE SHOPLIFTER RAN OVER THE EMPLOYEE TWICE. THE DEFENSE CLAIMED EMPLOYEES WERE TOLD TO AVOID PHYSICAL CONTACT WITH SHOPLIFTERS. WE PROVED THE EMPLOYER ACTUALLY DEMANDED EMPLOYEES TO CHASE AND CONFRONT SHOPLIFTERS. THE JURY AGREED THAT HIS DEMAND PUT THE EMPLOYEE IN GRAVE DANGER AND RETURNED A VERDICT IN THE AMOUNT OF $2.1 MILLION.
