The next day, the store owner called and offered me $5000 if I would agree not to sue. I refused the money and told them I just wanted them to fix the display rack so nobody else would get hurt. It's amazing that the store owner (and my HR rep) asumed that I would take the $. Sad commentary on our litigious society...

Good for you. If the display rack was faulty, it seems reasonable to let them pay for the suit. Glad you didn't feel the need to "lawyer up".
