Woman gets $1 million for hurting ankle in parking lot pothole

A jury has awarded a woman more than $1 million, more than five years after she fell and injured her ankle in a parking lot pothole.

The laundry owner's lawyers argued Allison was exaggerating the extent of her injury to get more money. » Article here
