In January 2010, the attorneys at Frekhtman & Associates with the help of their trial counsel settled the case of a client who was injured at a large supermarket/ wholesale club in Brooklyn, New York. The incident happened at Costco. A large escalator like conveyer belt took customers from the first floor to the second floor inside this warehouse. When a child fell between two carts, the client turned his shopping cart sideways to prevent it from hitting the child. Store employees watched the incident but failed to press the red stop button on the side of the escalator that would stop the conveyer belt. This led to numerous shopping carts filled with products to strike the plaintiff in his side and back causing serious injuries. After a jury was selected and a trial began in Brooklyn Supreme Court, the case settled for $250,000.00
