And now a follow up to a previous story we’ve done about a Madison woman who sustained injuries after opening a door for someone, presumably with her face. Her lawsuit’s ruling just came in and we’ve got a big update. What’s the update? She’s loaded.
MADISON, Ill. (Madison County Record) — A woman who was injured while holding open the door for customers at the Edwardsville Pizza Hut filed a personal injury suit against the restaurant and the man to whom she extended the courtesy.
Amanda Verett claims she was walking out the door of Pizza Hut on Feb. 12, when she held open the door to allow herself and co-defendant Clarence Jackson to exit.
“Jackson grabbed the door in such a fashion that it caused the door to suddenly and sharply move,” the complaint written by Edwardsville attorney Tom Maag states.
According to the Madison County Record, the judge granted the woman $311,700 smackers. Stuffed crust pizzas are on the house!
Verrett claimed she was entitled to damages from Pizza Hut because the door in question was “not reasonably safe and was likely to injure people when being held open and grabbed by another.” Apparently, you can only operate a door at Pizza Hut if you’re a member of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
