Florida Woman Seeks Compensation for Slip and Fall Injury
According to a recent Florida Record article, a South Florida woman has filed a lawsuit against Wal-Mart Stores East LP, a subsidiary of major retailer Walmart. Wal-Mart Stores East LP operates various retail stores, supermarkets, and discount stores. The woman is suing for alleged negligence.
In the lawsuit filed in Broward Circuit Court, the plaintiff alleges bodily injury due to the defendant failing to provide a safe environment for patrons. The plaintiff alleges she also suffered mental anguish, aggravation of pre-existing medical conditions, earnings loss, and medical expenses. The plaintiff suffered these injuries after slipping on a hazardous substance, causing her to fall. The defendant is being held responsible because it failed to provide a warning regarding the dangerous conditions and for allegedly permitting the unknown substance to remain on the floor.
The plaintiff is seeking a trial by jury and compensatory damages of more than $15,000 in addition to costs.
