She won this jury award in bulk.
A pain-wracked mom scored a stunning $9.9 miಌllioཧn verdict last week after she was smacked with an out-of-control shopping cart at a Costco outlet in Brooklyn that left her forced to hobble on a cane, The Post has learned.
“Suddenly, something caught my at꧒tention and when I looked towards the shopping cart, I saw that it was coming towards me quickly,” said Rose Nudelman, 52, in Brooklyn federal-court papers. “The shopping cart struck me with force.”
Tꦗhe photographer and multimedia artist — who got married just two months before the freak accident — was at the store with her husband in 2009 when she was nailed with her own loaded cart while riding up an escalator, according to court documents💯.
The perennially packed outlet’s ascending escalators have a mechanism that locks carts into place so that shop♏pers don’t have to hold them as they ascend.
But Nudelman said her packed cart suddenly became dislodged and fell back int𝓀o her wrist, according to her court testimony.
Not sensing any major injury, Nudelman filed a report with Costco staffers after the incident and then left the store, according to her atto▨rney, Michael Ronemus.
But she soon began to suffer from a rare neurological condition called complex regional pain syndrome that eventually robbed her of her mobility and eventually forced her to use a cane, according to court🐟 papers.
Ronemus showed emotional jurors video footage of Nudelman pracing around at her wedding and then hobbling on𓆉 a cane after the nightmarish incident. “I am no longer able to pursue my avocation as a multimedia artist,” Nudelman s🦩aid in court papers.
Costco’s attorneys claimed that she likely suffered some form of injury from the cart collision but was exaggeratingꦯ the se🌠verity in order to cash in on a settlement.
But a jury found Nudelman’s claims believable last week and walloped the retail juggernaut with a $9,903,825 award to cover medical coཧsts as well as her pain 🌞and suffering.
Costco attorne꧒ys will appeal the massive award. They 🌺did not return a call for comment.
“There is no one you or I know who would chaꦛဣnge places with Ms Nudelman for any amount of money,” Ronemus said.
Nudelman and her husband have since moved to N🐻orth 🐈Carolina, Ronemus said.
