Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

Slip and fall at a grocery store

I slipped on some grapes lying on the floor at a local grocery store. The grocery store is denying liability based on BAJI 8.20 and Oldenberg v. Sears, Roebuck and Co. (1957) 152 Cal.App.2d 733.

I wasn't severely injured, but would like my medicals, lost work time and future chiropractic care covered.

Is there any law to refute the above cites?

Re: Slip and fall at a grocery store

IN RESPONSE TO YOUR QUESTION, LIABILITY FOR SLIP AND FALL ACCIDENTS FREQUENTLY TURN ON THE QUESTION OF NOTICE OR THE TYPE OF MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES THE STORE HAS. FOR EXAMPLE, HOW LONG WERE THE GRAPES ON THE FLOOR BEFORE YOU FELL AND DID THE STORE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO CLEAN. ALSO, WHAT WAS THEIR PROCEDURE, IF ANY, REGARDING FLOOR CLEANUP.
