Sadie Novotny is suing Costco for over $14 million after a liquor cabinet display fell on her, resulting in severe and permanent injuries, including a traumatic brain injury. The lawsuit alleges negligence from Costco for failing to properly inspect the cabinet's display setup, which was reportedly on a defective wooden pallet. Novotny is seeking compensation for pain, emotional distress, medical expenses, and lost wages. The case, originally filed in state court, has been moved to federal court and raises questions about store safety protocols.
The lawsuit claims Novotny suffered multiple severe and permanent injuries, including a traumatic brain injury. She is seeking $9 million for pain and suffering, $5 million for emotional distress and other damages.
Claude Armand Wyle, Novotny's attorney, stated that a Costco representative told him they have a video of the incident but won't send it to him for review, complicating his investigation.
