Savannah Now
A slip in a Kmart store turned out to be worth a lot more than a blue light special for a Savannah man, who was awarded $900,000 last week after a Chatham County jury blamed the store for the accident. Jeff Jenkins, 51, won the judgment against the Victory Drive store Friday, after a five-day trial in Superior Court. Jenkins fell three times in the store Feb. 2, 1994, injuring a shoulder rotator cuff and requiring surgery. He also damaged his jaw, head and a disc in his neck.
