A pregnant woman who slipped in a Beijing supermarket and had a miscarriage following the fall has demanded compensation of more than 500,000 yuan ($73,200).
According to the woman, surnamed Wang, 28, staff at the supermarket rushed her to a hospital but doctors could not manage to save her fetus.
The supermarket agreed to pay for the cost of the woman's treatment but refused to cough up any compensation, saying there was no evidence to suggest the miscarriage occurred after she slipped inside their premises.
A trial will begin shortly.
