Hey. Perez,
It would appear you've linked this to the story of a man who hired a stripper for his father's funeral. Unless Wal-Mart sells strippers, probably the wrong link.
haha one minute no comments the next 13 others! I'm not suprised that an american based company would drain money from the poor….should i act surprised when someone considered more important points this out?
well, those are their rules, and if they made an exception for her, then they would have to do it for everyone. It's about precedent and treating people equally. I'm not saying that it's right, but those are the rules, and they are following the rules…
Fuck Walmart and fuck everyone who shops there. Shopping at walmart is the most unamerican thing you can do! they are movitated solely by greed and yet try to keep a squeeky clean all american image. Low prices at a high fucking cost. Do you know how much money tax payers pay to support Walmart employees because walmart won't pay them enough to support their families? FUCK, FUCK, FUCK they make me mad.
this woman was awarded $1,000,000 her lawyers recieved $583,000 of that while the other $417,000 was put in a trust fun for her, why should walmart donate more money to her than what they have already paid from the lawsuit. if her lawyers cared they would donate some oof their $583,000 since they got more fucking money than she did! the real crooks are her lawyers not walmart
Wal-Mart is doing the right thing! If they don't get that money and don't go after it, ALL of Wal-Mart's insurance premiums will go up! And how ethical is it of that woman to keep double the money? That money is not rightfully hers, so she should not have been spending it. There are people in shittier situations. The family should have been smarter and sued for more. Plus, they have good insurance, WalMart's insurance never asked any questions and keeps paying out to them for her medical bills. Also, if WalMart does not go after the money, it will open a flood gate and other employees in similar situations will think they can sue and get the money PLUS have their insurance pay in on it. Shit happens. This lady's lawyer should have known to 1. SUE FOR MORE and 2. THE CLAUSE IN HER INSURANCE!!!!! (As almost ALL insurance agencies have this clause!!!)
AMERICA'S CORPORATE HEALTH INSURANCE BULLSHIT PISSES ME OFF BEYOND ANY REASON. THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO LIVE AND DIE BECAUSE YOU ARE MONEY OBSESSED. I SUFFER FROM THIS DISGUSTING MISUSE OF THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM EVERYDAY.
EVERY. DAY.
Is there anything we can do for this woman? Has a trust or fund been set up for donations? Why do people continue to be patrons of Walmart? Boycott Walmart!!!
i think everyone should write wal-mart a letter and tell them to stop screwing their employees and ruining lives with poor health insurance, low wages, and strenuous work conditions. wal-mart employs 130,000 people…that's a LOT, and they ALL get screwed over by this horrible corporation, whose founding family boasts several of the top 10 richest people in the world. if every one of you write a letter, maybe they will reform their ways and pretend to stop being so money-hungry.
Look up "subrogation". If the insurance company stated you cannot "double-dip" than they are legally entitled to ask for that money back. My question is why did the family sue the trucking company even after they got money from WalMart.
Their lawyer obviously didn't read the fine print as lawyers should do in cases like that. Emotional story? Yes. Unfair and unethical? Nope.
I WILL NEVER GO TO MY LOCAL WAL_MART AGAIN!!!!!!!! HOW COULD THEY DO THIS TO HER!!!!!!! HOW SHORT_SIGHTED ON THEIR PART> DO NOT SHOP AT WAL_MART!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I went there once a week. NO MORE!!!!!! thanks perez for letting me know how bad they are.
That is the worst case of corporate greed I have ever heard of. And Wal-Mart wonders why they have such a cold, horrible reputation as an employer. What is this telling their associates everywhere? Better think twice before you take a job (or shop) at Wal-Mart.
OH PLEASE Perez. There are hundreds of thousands of sob stories to be told my workers of Wal-Mart, or of any other company. Life sucks, stuff happens, and big corporations should not have to be expected to dish out millions everytime something bad does happen. This is called the FREE MARKET Perez, bad things happen, and it's not up to corporate American to fix it, and if it ever becomes up to them, there will be no more corporate American to hire you. Idiots. Don't let more sob stories detract from the truth that capitolism works. And if you don't agree, move to Canada. Please, because we don't want you here.
This sucks. There HAS to be something that we can do to put pressure on Wal-Mart to quit being assholes over a small amount of money compared to the cost of this woman's long-term care.
They *are* doing the right thing. Their contract specifies if the victim is awarded money from a lawsuit, then they get nothing from Wal-Mart's health plan. I think this clause is there for a reason, and a very good one at that. The woman will be quite fine living off the $417k she was awarded.
This is how most insurance companies are. After an accident, they expect you to pay them back with what you got from whatever settlement. Both of my parents worked for the State of Ohio and both of them were in separate accidents where they got a pay-out by the other person's insurance company. Their medical insurance then turned around and wanted some of that money. That's how the world works. Leave Wal-Mart alone!
well if you ever went to wal mart most of the people who work there have some kind of disability and work half time. therefore don't get all the privileges they actually need. wal mart sucks. perez show you care and make a big anti wal mart campaign. c'mon
THIS IS SO TYPICAL, CORPORATIONS PICK ON/PILE ON PEOPLE WHO ARE DOWN ON THEIR LUCK. SHIT, THESE DAYS, MISS ONE CREDIT CARD PAYMENT AND THEY CLOSE YOUR ACCOUNT AND REPORT IT TO THE CREDIT BUREAUS. THEY DON'T CARE
THIS JUST MAKES ME WANT TO PUKE! WAL-MART SUCKS! I HATE THIS COMPANY! WHY DOES THE GOVERNMENT STEP IN AND BREAK THIS COMPANY UP LIKE IT DOES OTHER COMPANIES THAT GET TOO BIG FOR THEIR BRITCHES? THIS POOR WOMAN PAID IN HER SHARE OF HER INSURANCE PREMIUMS SO WHY SHOULD WALLY WORLD GET THE MONEY AND NOT HER? JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE THAT OUR SYSTEMS ARE FLAWED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
greed and power have taken us over. we the people need to take back our country and take care of our own like this women right here. wal-mart to the white house, they're all greedy nazis who care only for their own agenda and no one else.
I never go in a Wal-Mart.

well, those are their rules, and if they made an exception for her, then they would have to do it for everyone. It's about precedent and treating people equally. I'm not saying that it's right, but those are the rules, and they are following the rules…
Wal-Mart is the Standard Oil and Carnegie Steel Industry of this generation.
fuck wal-mart.
go target.
No doubt! If all the other reasons WM sucks weren't enough, now I'm definitely not shopping there anymore. Thanks for posting!

Walmart sucks..and they are supposed to be Christian, and oh so patriotic with their flag on the top of the store. Real nice people.
Unfortunate. This is why you read a contract before signing it though.
AMERICA'S CORPORATE HEALTH INSURANCE BULLSHIT PISSES ME OFF BEYOND ANY REASON. THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO LIVE AND DIE BECAUSE YOU ARE MONEY OBSESSED. I SUFFER FROM THIS DISGUSTING MISUSE OF THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM EVERYDAY.
EVERY. DAY.
Mpls, MN.
Don't hold your breath that Wal-Mart will cave on this. They are scum. Period.
Is there anything we can do for this woman? Has a trust or fund been set up for donations? Why do people continue to be patrons of Walmart? Boycott Walmart!!!

it was her fault that it fell on her but they should pay her because shes probably not going to work anymore
