Christopher Landrum has filed a lawsuit against a major retail chain, alleging negligence and seeking damages exceeding $50,000. The complaint was lodged in the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial Circuit in Pinellas County, Florida, on March 27, 2025. Landrum accuses Wal-Mart Stores East, LP, and an unidentified employee, referred to as Jane Doe, of causing him harm during a visit to one of their stores.

According to the details outlined in the complaint by Christopher Landrum’s attorney, Rick Terrana from Morgan & Morgan P.A., the incident occurred on February 26, 2025. Landrum visited a Wal-Mart store located at 8001 US Highway 19 N., Pinellas Park, Florida. During his visit, he claims that an employee struck him with a shopping cart, resulting in significant injuries. The plaintiff argues that Wal-Mart had a duty to maintain safe premises for its customers and failed to uphold this responsibility. “The Defendant owed Plaintiff a duty to exercise reasonable care to protect Plaintiff from physical harm at the hands of its employees,” states the complaint.

Landrum’s legal action includes multiple counts against Wal-Mart Stores East. These counts include negligence for failing to train or adequately supervise their employees and negligent hiring practices concerning Jane Doe. The plaintiff asserts that had Wal-Mart conducted appropriate background checks and training sessions for their staff, such incidents could have been avoided. “Defendant breached its duty by failing to conduct a reasonable background investigation,” reads part of the filing.
