The Mercantile installed a horseshoe affixed to the ground with the loop facing up, so the loop became a hidden trap, pitfall, or snare. The horseshoe was installed as a doorstop. The elderly Plaintiff was pushed so her foot got caught in the loop, she fell backward, and suffered a severe injury.”
The lawsuit argues Ree Drummond “failed” in her duty to manage and maintain her property to make sure it was in “reasonable safe condition” for the customers. Furthermore, the lawsuit argues she also failed to warn customers about the potential dangers. The dangers the customized doorstops presented to those simply walking around her property.
The lawsuit goes on to claim Maria suffered “pain of mind and body, lost the enjoyment of life, and has been disabled in her activities of daily living.” And, her lawyers believe the TV personality should foot the bill. The bill for this suffering.
As such, Maria’s legal team decided to sue the TV personality for $75K in damages for her pain and suffering.
