A Colorado jury awarded a truck driver $ 10 million for injuries she experienced after a fall in a metro-Denver Wal-Mart parking lot.

While making a store delivery, Holly Averty slipped on grease and ice near the truck ramp, according to ABC of Denver . Averty injured her back, requiring three surgeries and medical bills of almost $500,000. Due to the cost of medical bills and her inability to work, her truck was repossessed.

An Ohio jury recently returned a verdict of $5.671 million in favor of a 53-year-old man who sustained severe shoulder injuries as a result of an explosion at an AEP power plant in 2007.

During the trial, the jurors heard testimony that included information about a similar explosion approximately 15 months earlier at an AEP plant in West Virginia. It was found that the plant failed to take any steps to correct that problem. The jury found that the Ohio Power Company, a subsidiary of AEP, acted with a conscious disregard of the plaintiff’s well being.
