A customer did not accept the store’s apology and went much further. A woman sues Walmart after one of their employees allegedly ran into her with a line of shopping carts and knocked her to the ground. Now, the alleged victim is demanding nothing more and nothing less than $75,000.

The woman, identified as Beverly Robinson, reported that an employee of a Walmart located in Donaldsonville, Louisiana, ran into her while she was putting some items into a shopping cart, according to the New York Post.

Woman sues Walmart after being hit by shopping carts

Apparently, Beverly Robinson suffered multiple bruises, internal injuries, sprains, headaches and emotional distress from the incident that occurred in July 2021, according to the document explaining why she is suing Walmart after being hit by the row of shopping carts.

“Beverly Robinson put the items in the grocery cart and placed her hands on the handle of the cart, when suddenly and violently she was pushed to the floor, by the force of several grocery carts being pushed into her from the opposite side, by a Walmart employee,» the complainant’s attorney, Ralph Brickman, told Business Insider.

Now Beverly Robinson demands more than $75,000

The customer is now suing Walmart for more than $75,000 in addition to payment of medical and legal expenses related to the incident, said the report. The Post also stated that the case comes weeks after the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) filed another lawsuit against Walmart. The FTC alleges that the retail giant allowed criminals to defraud consumers of hundreds of millions of dollars using its money transfer services.

Walmart was «well aware» that fraudsters were using its transfer services, but it nonetheless sent or received $197 million in payments that were the subject of fraud complaints, in addition to $1.3 billion in other transactions deemed potentially fraudulent, according to the Post.

Walmart responds to accusations of fraud

“Walmart has continued processing fraud-induced money transfers at its stores — funding telemarketing and other scams — without adopting policies and practices that effectively detect and prevent these transfers,” the Federal Trade Commission argued.

However, Walmart said in a statement that the lawsuit was «factually flawed and legally unfounded. They added, «Walmart will defend the company’s robust anti-fraud efforts that have helped protect countless consumers, all while Walmart has driven down prices and saved consumers an estimated $6 billion in money transfer fees.»
