For the grocery to be responsible since July 2013, they had to have notice of the foreign substance and sufficient time to get rid of it. Hire an attorney familiar with this area of law asap.

You may very well have a case against the store, depending upon the condition of the liquid which caused you to fall. Before speaking with the store or their insurance company, we suggest you contact a firm like ours to discuss your situation. We offer free no-obligation consultations on all personal injury questions. Please call us on our toll-free hotline 1-888-352-5298.
