California verdict news | Reported in 2026
Kramer Trial Lawyers reports a $5.175 million Contra Costa County jury verdict for a woman struck by a driver in a Trader Joe’s parking lot in 2017. The firm describes permanent spinal injuries and disputed responsibility. Its account credits a collaboration with Michael Geoola and BD Law Group. The public case summary does not identify a final payment or provide the complete verdict form.
Preserve parking-lot surveillance and the spinal treatment chronology
Identify cameras covering the approach as well as the impact location. Keep photographs showing parked vehicles and obstructions because a later view may differ. For a spinal-injury claim, organize examinations, imaging, prior symptoms and recommendations into a coherent chronology. Being injured on a store’s parking lot does not by itself establish a premises claim against the store; the evidence must identify the responsible conduct.
