Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

Go to a hospital or to a doctor and get checked. If you have. Something serious then hire a lawyer to pursue a case. Against the grocery store. You may want to serve them a written request for preseravation of evidence, specifically any video footage. Otherwise they may say they didn't think it was important and delete it. Keep a copy of the request and send it by certified mail to the store manager's attention.

You should see an orthopedic doctor for your hip. A witness will certaily help and it is essentialfor YOU to be alble to prove that the dangerous condition was there for a sufficient period of time that the store should have discovered and cleaned up the cases. This is neessary for the owner of the store to be held liable. The fact that the mess was there is, by itself, not going to be sufficient to prove negligence in a premises liabilty case. You must have some evidence that enough time went by to correct it (such as shopping cart wheel streak marks which suggest people went through a spilled liquid) boxes do not normally leave streaks so a witness as to duration of the boxes being an obstruction on the floor would be good evidence. Absence of that proof may make proving liabilty difficult to impossible in your particular facts. I hope this helps. Bob Worth (818) 222-2433
