Monge & Associates takes on Kroger in $400,000 injury case

ATLANTA, Ga. – In a dramatic turn of events, a customer hurt while shopping at Kroger, who the store initially refused to pay, won $400,000.00 in the legal case of Arrington v. The Kroger Company, Civil Action File No. 11EV012054J, State Court of Fulton County, Georgia.

According to the court documents, Theresa Arrington was injured after she fell in a puddle of water. The water was left behind by a cleaning crew as they maneuvered machinery up and down the aisles of the store. While shopping, the victim slipped and lacerated her leg on a shopping cart, court documents stated.

"Our attorneys put a lot of work into this case," said Scott G. Monge, Firm Founder and lead counsel who represented injured shopper Theresa Arrington. "Our client was injured and sustained very serious complications from her injury. The legal team took immediate action and helped preserve her rights and fight for justice."

The client suffered from an infection after her injury, court papers stated. The physicians prescribed her medication to fight the infection, but she had a bad reaction to the drugs and suffered a seizure. According to court filings, she then had to be treated in a hyperbaric chamber to treat the infection.

"She went through a lot," said Attorney Nick Kasatkin. "She had to endure the hyperbaric chamber treatment for a long time."
