Target shopper wins $11.3m payout from Target after she didn’t look where she was going in parking lot and tripped over curb

A Target shopper won an $11 million payout after she tripped over a curb in the parking lot.

Olga Mun, 44, filed a lawsuit in 2021 after she tripped and fell at a Target store at the Winter Garden Village shopping center, Florida, according to court records obtained by the Daily Mail.

In December 2019, Mun was carrying her daughter in the shopping center, weaving through the parked cars to avoid holiday traffic.

The 44-year-old didn’t notice the uneven spot where the asphalt road met the concrete curb gutter and tripped over it.

Mun twisted and fractured her left ankle and sustained multiple leg injuries including fractures to her right tibia and fibula.

She sued both Target and Site Centers Corp – the owner of the shopping center – for their alleged negligence and failure to maintain the parking lot.

‘Our client suffered a devastating and lifelong injury due to the defendants’ negligence, and she now lives with pain and limitations from the metal rods and screws in her right leg,’ her attorneys Matt Morgan and Fan Li said.

Target and Site Centers Corp’s attorneys argued that the hazard Mun complained about was clearly visible, and she chose to take a risk.

They also claimed that they were not required to warn her about the risk, according to court records.

The defendants offered Mun a $250,000 pre-trial settlement, which she declined.

Mun walked away with a staggering $11.3 million dollar verdict after the jury said the owners of the parking lot were 90 percent responsible.

‘This verdict spoke the full truth as to the level of human harms and losses sustained by our client in the past and the future,’ Mun’s lawyers added.
