In October of 2006, Margaret M. McDowell (Plaintiff) alleged that she was walking through a retail store owned by the Kmart Corporation (Defendant) when she slipped and fell on a wet floor. Because of this fall, McDowell suffered serious injuries and bodily harm.
The Defendant moved to have all claims of the Plaintiff dismissed, as they claimed that she was unable to prove that her accident and injuries were truly the fault of the Kmart Corporation.
The Plaintiff filed a lawsuit in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas on May 25, 2006, stating that the Kmart Corporation was, indeed, at fault for her injuries, and was “careless, negligent and reckless” by:
- Maintaining a dangerous condition on their property that they were aware of / had reason to be aware of, and was of reasonable risk of harm
- Failing to adequately inspect the property
- Failing to warn the Plaintiff of this danger
- Failing to use due care under the circumstances
On June 13, 2006 the Defendant moved the case to federal court and filed an instant motion to dismiss all charges on the following day.
On July 12, 2006 the Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss Recklessness Allegations was denied.
