Supreme Court refuses to review case of brain damaged Wal-Mart employee forced to pay $470,000

ADVERTISEMENTS

The Supreme Court has refused to hear the case of the former Wal-Mart employee who, now brain damaged, must pay nearly half a million dollars in medical expenses to Wal-Mart. The Supreme Court?s denial allows an 8th Circuit ruling to stand that required Debbie Shank to pay nearly $470K to Wal-Mart.

Shank was critically injured in a car accident eight years ago. Suffering a brain injury, she was left with virtually no memory and little ability to move or communicate. Since being released from the hospital, Shank has lived in a nursing home.
