The attorney for a 61-year-old Meriden woman got a $185,000 settlement after she injured her left hip, knee and leg when the shopping cart she was rolling in a Big Y supermarket parking lot went into a pothole, causing her body to go over the cart.

In a case where the plaintiff’s delay in getting medical care might have favored the defense, Hartford-based attorney Brooke Goff said she was able to work around it.
