Ok, here's the story:
As a Wal-Mart employee, my wife was instructed(by the store manager) to park our 7 month old $35,000 vehicle in an area designated for employees. She was also told that if she did not park within these areas she would be written up and that the third writeup would result in termination. As instructed, she parks in the designated area. That day a storm rolls in and a cart owned by Wal-Mart is blown across the parking lot(approx. 600ft.) and hits our vehicle in the passenger side front door causing $711.00 in damage. Wal-Mart hires employees to specifically pickup these carts and provides these employees with specilized equipment to recover theses carts. My insurance co. has paid to make repairs to our vehicle but I feel that Wal-Mart should pay for my out of pocket deductable.($500.00) I have contacted Wal-Mart's claims department but all indications I have received from them is that they are not going to take responsibility. Does anyone have any information on case law or state statute relating to this type of damage.
