LONGVIEW, Texas — Roberts & Roberts Law Firm in Tyler won an almost $1.4 million verdict on behalf of a customer who suffered an injury at Aldi in Longview.
According to Roberts & Roberts Law Firm, this was the first civil jury trial in the Tyler federal district court since the COVID-19 shutdown.
The firm told the Tyler Morning Telegraph that the personal injury case involved a 64-year-old woman who slipped and fell in a puddle at the store.
The firm says Aldi refused to take responsibility and said they would “never pay six figures" to resolve this case.
"This is also the highest verdict ever in a business premises liability case in a Texas federal court," the firm said.
