Re: slip and fell at grocery store

Slip and fall cases are difficult because the plaintiff has to prove that the store had notice of the spill and hadn't taken measures to correct the problem. With security cameras these days, sometimes that proof is easy to come by.

I believe you should consult a personal injury attorney and have them review your case. You may have a viable case, and you certainly have a significant injury.

Re: slip and fell at grocery store

Yes, in many slip and fall cases it is possible to obtain a recovery either by the proper presentation of your claim or by filing a lawsuit. It would appear that you have sustained a serious injury that would justify looking into the case. Please feel free to call me if you do not already have an attorney and I will help refer you to one.
