Ganado, TX Personal Injury Law Firms & Lawyers

She may be entitled to compensation if store employees put the water on the floor and failed to warn customers that it was there. But she's unlikely to recover much if anything unless she required medical treatment. Plus there's always the "look where you're going" defense that makes slip-and-fall cases difficult. See a lawyer; most personal injury lawyers charge nothing for an initial consultation.

Whether you can recover from the store depends on the specific circumstances. If you can PROVE that the substance on the floor (water or some other liquid or slippery substance) had been on the floor for a significant amount of time, long enough that the store operators knew or should have known it was there and long enough for them to have the chance to clean it up and/or at least warn customers to avoid it, then the store can be held liable for your damages. You should retain a lawyer immediately to investigate the incident and determine whether or not you have a viable case.

For starters, it is very difficult to sue an insurance company and win. Second, it's nearly impossibleunless you have them on tape or in print saying something which proves they knew something wasn't true to prove an adjust or "lied" about an investigation. Remember, there is a huge difference between an insurance company taking a contrary position which may be wrong according to what you think you know, and an adjustor insisting the facts are a certain way while KNOWING they are not. You call it a lie, they call it a difference of opinion, and if there is no hard evidence either way, a court of law is not going to rule in your favor.
