A woman is set to receive a major payout from Kmart after she was injured by a falling mountain bike while shopping at a store on the NSW Central Coast.
Sydney woman Rita Marmara, 64, was holding her granddaughter’s hand in the self-checkout section of Woy Woy Kmart when another customer was attempting to manoeuvre two mountain bikes in his trolley.
Ms Marmara took the matter to the NSW District Court and claimed damages totalling $743,971 in medical treatment cost and lost income. “She was a fit and healthy person who walked to work full-time and performed a job which had a significant physical activity component,” Judge Gibson said. Final costs are set to be determined at a later date with out-of-pocket expenses still being debated between the two parties.
