The founder of a Michigan chair company that sued another furniture company after falling out of a chair and hurting his back now wants to settle the case outside of court.
David Miller’s back pain was so bad after he fell out of a chair he had to resign his post as president of Grand Rapids Chair Company. He filed a lawsuit a year ago against Menard’s, where he bought the chair, and the broken chair’s manufacturer U.S. Furniture Inc.
Now the parties are asking the judge to approve a settlement out of court. It’s not clear how much the settlement is worth. The court documents were filed late last week. Miller was asking for $75,000 in the original complaint.
