You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

Depending on the injury, you may have a claim against the owners of the property or the tenant. A person has a responsibility to take necessary precautions when they walk and avoid the possibility of injury. Contributory negligence, if any, will be a factor. Generally, unless the injury is severe, the money damages are minimal.

Contact an attorney. If the store or the property owner knew or should have known of a dangferous condition and that condition caused you to fall, they may be liable. They must be negligent, though. Just because you fall does not mean that the owner is responsible for your injuries.
