Supermarket group Asda is to pay £550,000 compensation to a woman who has to use a wheelchair after slipping on a mushroom in one of its stores.
Asda Stores admitted liability for the accident which Beverley Jackson, 44, of Maryland, Hatfield, Hertfordshire, said had left her confined to a wheelchair after a hip operation failed.
Who would have thought that a humble mushroom could wreak such damage – both physically and financially?
