$250,000 jury verdict for a woman who slipped and fell at Menards resulting in the need for surgery. LouWanna Snodgrass vs. Menards. LouWanna went to Menards to return a leaf blower at the customer service counter. Prior to her arrival, another customer returned a pile of PCP pipes that were left on the ground out of her sight. As she left the customer service desk, she tripped and fell on the PCP pipes resulting in a back injury and the need for surgery. Menards claimed that her back injury was “pre-existing” and surgery was not necessary or related to the fall. Menards offered $42,000 to settle the case prior to trial.
