In Tomasi v. ShopRite of Woodbridge, a Woodbridge man who slipped on grapes at a ShopRite, allegedly causing him to aggravate a neck injury and undergo surgery, will receive $1.5 million under a mediated settlement in his negligence lawsuit against the grocery store reached on Feb. 25.
According to his lawyers at Gill & Chamas in Woodbridge, the man, Michael Tomasi, was walking through the produce section at ShopRite of Woodbridge on Dec. 24, 2015, when he stepped on grapes and slipped. While he did not fall, he did twist his body and try to brace himself from falling by putting his hand on the floor, the lawyers said. And he immediately felt neck pain, they added.
