Former pro football player gets $1.1M for fall in store
A former pro football player who claimed that he sustained severe back injuries when he fell at a grocery store was awarded $1.1 million. In 2004, Jerry Aldridge, then 48, slipped and fell at the Brookshire Brother's Grocery in Jacksonville . Aldridge, who underwent a lumbar fusion and a cervical fusion after two years of conservative treatment, claimed that he slid on grease that had leaked from a rotisserie chicken container. At trial, he was awaiting medical approval to return to work. Defense counsel argued that neither the store nor its employees had actual or subjective awareness of the alleged grease spill prior to the miscue. The defense also pointed to medical records showing that Aldridge had preexisting back and neck problems, including a herniated disc.
