A federal judge has drawn an adverse inference against retailer TJ Maxx’s inability to produce video surveillance evidence in a personal injury case involving a slip-and-fall at one of its stores.

U.S. District Judge Darnell Jones II of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania denied TJ Maxx’s request for summary judgment in plaintiff Natalia Charoff’s lawsuit. Charoff had argued that several disputed issues remained, including her allegation that TJ Maxx destroyed video evidence of her accident.
