A 51-year-old woman was shopping at a local discount store. She began to exit the store through a glass door left open by another customer. As she walked through the doorway, the adjacent automatic doors struck her although they were supposed to deactivate when the side door was opened. The woman had a closed head injury and Achilles tendon injury. After a lawsuit was filed and discovery documents exchanged, the case settled shortly before it was scheduled for a hearing.
