Product demonstrator suing Costco over on-the-job injury

 A product demonstrator is suing Costco after being injured by one of the store’s employee.

Charlotte Dickey was demonstrating a product at the Lewisville, Texas, Costco when a Costco employee allegedly rolled over her ankle with a flatbed. Dickey was working in one of the store’s aisles at the time of the accident.

The personal injury lawsuit was filed against Costco Wholesale Corp. on July 21st. The suit alleges that Dickey suffered injuries to her right shoulder and an injury to her left ankle requiring surgery.

In the Texas personal injury lawsuit, Dickey accuses Costco of negligence, claiming the store violated the duty it owed to her to “exercise ordinary care in the operation of its retail sales business.” She is also claiming that Costco failed to provide her with a safe work environment.

Dickey is further alleging that the worker did not properly observe the area around him before rolling out the flatbed.

In her lawsuit, Dickey is seeking damages for her medical expenses, pain and suffering, disfigurement, physical impairment, disability and mental anguish. She is also seeking compensation for lost wages and lost earning capacity.

Dickey’s husband, also a plaintiff in the Texas personal injury lawsuit, is seeking damages for loss of consortium due to his wife’s injuries.

Dickey is not an employee of Costco. She works for C.D.S Club Demonstration Services and was in the store as a representative of her employer at the time of the accident.
