READING - Best Buy is being sued by a Shoemakersville man who says he tore his bicep lifting a television purchased from Best Buy into his car, according to documents filed in the Berks County Court of Common Pleas.
Paul Mosser was at the Wyomissing Best Buy location in November of 2019 to pick a large television he had purchased online. An employee of the store allegedly came to Mosser's assistance in lifting the appliance into his vehicle, but upon doing so the plaintiff says he felt a tear in his right arm and immediate pain.
According to the suit, Mosser suffered arm pain, bicep rupture, hand and shoulder pain and other injuries as a result of his attempt to load the television into his vehicle. The complaint says that the employee told Mosser he should have asked for more help, but the plaintiff states that Best Buy policies regarding heavy lifting should have been known and enforced by the employee.
Mosser accuses Best Buy of one count of negligence, and demands damage coverage for an amount that exceeds the court's arbitration limits. Best Buy removed the case to U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on Feb. 1.
