Cleveland woman wins $1.3 million lawsuit against Giant Eagle for motorized shopping cart injury [View all]
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A jury awarded $1.3 million a Cleveland woman struck by a motorized shopping cart at the Brook Park Giant Eagle.
Barbara Rieger was struck in December 2012 by Ruth Kurka, a fellow customer who lost control of the motorized shopping cart she used to get around the store, according to the lawsuit filed in 2014.
The impact threw the then-71-year-old Rieger about four feet. She struck her head against a shelf display and suffered neck and head injuries, the lawsuit says.
