Nora/Sylvester Eddings vs. Sears

This appeal involves a personal injury and allegations of promissory fraud stemming from a display bed collapsing at the defendant's department store. The plaintiffs spoke with the defendant's claim adjustor following the incident and were allegedly assured that medical bills would be paid by the defendant or that the claim would be "concluded." The plaintiffs, however, were informed by the defendant's claims adjustor approximately one year after the accident that the defendant held no liability due to the lapse of the statute of limitation. The plaintiffs sued the defendant for both personal injury and promissory fraud. Both claims were eventually defeated before a trial could be held and the plaintiffs appealed. We affirm.
