A $4.35 million settlement has been reached in the case of a woman who tripped and fell over a garden hose in a newly-opened Lowe’s store, reports the Visalia Times-Delta. The woman, a 71-year-old California resident, was a well-respected children’s advocate who served as director for the Tulare County Office of Education Child Care Program. While browsing the flower department at Lowe’s, she tripped over the hose, breaking her arm and hitting her head. She then suffered a stroke. She is paralyzed now on one side of her body, and lives in an assisted-care facility. According to the Visalia Times-Delta, the accident took place just 24 days after the Lowe’s store opened.
