  • April 11, 2008: The Virginian-Pilot. "A jury awarded $1.25 million last week to a woman who slipped in standing water at a Food Lion store. Eloise Carroll fell as she walked in the freezer section of the store at 1859 E. Little Creek Road in September 2005, according to the lawsuit she filed in Norfolk Circuit Court. Her lawyer, Robert L. Mills, said the water came from condensation from freezer doors that had been open during restocking. Carroll ruptured a disc in her spine when she fell, Mills said, keeping her from performing her job as a support assistant for physically disabled people. Carroll sought treatment and eventually had surgery because of the injury, Mills said. A jury returned the verdict on April 11 after a two-day trial. 'The result will make a big difference in this woman's life,' Mills said Thursday."
