Riley v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. d/b/a Sam's Club 9/18/02

Riley v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. d/b/a Sam's Club, State Court of Richmond County (9/18/02)

Wal-Mart settled the case after we obtained the broadest discovery order ever entered against Wal-Mart, compelling it to divulge claims history information and settlement amounts on a nationwide basis for a ten-year period. The firm successfully resisted a motion for summary judgment that would have capped the punitive damages awardable at $250,000. Wal-Mart's General Counsel insisted the amount of settlement remain confidential.
