Van Court
A woman who claims she was knocked unconscious and robbed at the Granite City Wal-Mart denies that any fault is attributable to her or that a third party is liable for her damages.
Wal-Mart previously argued in its answer to plaintiff Christine Collins’ complaint that if it is found liable, its fault is less than 25 percent of the total fault attributable to the plaintiff. It also argued that a third party defendant is liable for damages.
Collins answered the affirmative defenses on April 12 through attorney Ellen Burford of Burford Law Office in Granite City. She denies all affirmative and additional defenses asserted by defendants Wal-Mart and Christopher Hodges.
