PLEASE DON'T SHOP AT WALMART!

I've totally had it with this filthy and disgusting company. How many times do we have to hear how they screw their employees?

This takes the cake:

This poor woman - loyal employee of Walmart was permanently brain damaged in a car accident. She was awarded 1 million of which $400,000+ was hers after legal fees. She needed that money for continuing care.

Walmart, however SUES HER to recover what they paid towards her medical expenses - the goal was leaving her penniless they a mult-zillion dollar company would have $400,000+ while this lady struggles with daily life without money for on-going medical.

I will never stop foot in another Walmart and I encourage everyone to follow.

You really don't have all the details. A portion of her settlement was to pay medical bills. Since a 3rd party paid them for her, the 3rd party is entitled to recovery.

If WalMart sued the auto company directly to recover, you would have no problem with this.

It's unfortunate but completely legal and ethical. Perhaps the culprit really is the law firm that took 60%!
