The infant was not injured, but on Wednesday night, a unanimous eight-member Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas jury awarded Hartner $950,000 for a knee injury sustained in the accident, according to Hartner’s attorney, Stewart A. Bernstein of Kanter Bernstein & Kardon.
Bernstein said Home Depot knew of a defect in its parking lot, failed to repair it and exacerbated the problem by watering trees and plants in the lot.
