I'm not a lawyer, but I worked in retail forever ago and saw what happened when both a customer slipped and fell (she tore ligaments) and when an employee slipped (he also tore ligaments). Did you notify Walmart when it happened or later on? The company worked more quickly with the employee than it did with the customer. I think the thought process was they figured if they paid for the employee's surgery and rehab that he wouldn't pursue a lawsuit (which he didn't). With the customer, they documented it (they had video as well as witnesses) and then went into "no one talk about it" mode. They will do everything to fight it even when they have video evidence that they are responsible. Best of luck.

Filed an incident report immediately.

Write them a preservation of evidence letter and tell them to save any surveillance video as it is evidence. If they later destroy it, you can get a spoliation of evidence jury instruction

Certified letter straight to the store manager?

I'm not a doctor or lawyer but if you need someone blacklisted or to have an "accident", well that may be up my alley. They have to be a foreign national. I swore to never to harm to a US citizen.

It does say foreign or domestic...

Guy starts a personal injury thread and the first two to respond are lawyers offering their services. Surprised I haven't been bombarded by Bart Durham commercials

Clearwater did me a solid. He's good in my book despite our differing opinions in the PF.

Likewise, if I had an area of expertise (such as making Sailors and ex-Sailors) look bad, I would offer my services.

Edit: I remember you're a former officer. I make Army officers look bad too.

CW isn't bad and I just like messing with lawyers as a matter of principle.

No, I wasn't an officer just a lowly E-5 when I got out. Would have been a 6 and probably stayed if they didn't max the points when I was in BNOC.

I swear you were an O. I take back all the bad things I said about you then.

Next February. Don't want it though tbh. And I sure as f*** NEVER want the one after it (not that I'll stay in long enough anyway).

Why not? 1SG is one of the best ranks in the Army, IMO. Especially if you like developing young leaders.

I just picked up my third rocker and diamond. I will be a 1SG in 2-346 CSSB. It's a Reserve OC/T BN with 1A.

I agree with not wanting to be a SGM or CSM. Unfortunately, I think I am going to pursue it. It's in my nature to be competitive and I have seen some of my peers. I have 4 more years until I am eligible. I am currently, having to proof read a buddies work who is in the SMC. He is from Alabama, he writes like he speaks. He speaks like a gump.

What you said why you don't want your 8. I've been out so long I don't know some of the new abbreviations.

I've done the job a few times (albeit for short periods), it's just not for me haha. Too many meetings and worrying about dumb s***.

And honestly, I don't see the point of the CSM anymore in today's Army. At least from my perspective.

Congrats on the 3rd rocker though, that's awesome. And good luck to ya if ya want to persue the next one. I feel ya on the peer thing though haha.

I go to MLC in a couple weeks.

I do enjoy (most of the time) being a PSG, but I miss kicking in doors and being in the s***. Squad Leader is the best job in the infantry IMO.
