Am I entitled to any compensation if I fall and slip in a store because of a wet floor?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Jeffrey Lapin (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Lapin Law Offices
Your wife may be entitled to compensation for her injuries and damages sustained in her fall if she can prove the store was negligent in not preventing your wife's fall. Your wife would basically have to prove that the store knew or should have known about the slippery floor and that they either failed to do something about the slippery floor or warn people about it. Evidence that your wife would look for to help prove these items include, but are not limited to: how large the wet slippery area was; how long it had been there; whether anyone told the store about it; whether it was raining at the time; where the slippery area was in the store; what caused the floor to be slippery, such as water, a spilled product, etc. In addition, your wife's own actions would have to be examined to determine whether her own conduct, primarily whether she kept a "proper lookout" and what efforts, if any, she took or could have taken to avoid the slippery area. If your wife was partially at fault for her fall, her fault is compared with that of the store. To be entitled to compensation, your wife must be less than 50% at fault. In addition, your wife's fault, if any, reduces the amount the store owes based on her percentage of fault. For example, if the case is worth $100.00 and a person is 10% at fault, they would be entitled to $90.00. You do not provide enough information to determine whether the store was negligent and whether your wife's own conduct contributed to her fall. Your wife should contact a personal injury attorney to more fully discuss her case. Most personal injury attorneys offer a free initial consultation so it should not cost her anything to talk to an attorney.

If you daughter is unable to pay her debts, including for the auto accident, she can apply for bankruptcy protection. That will stop all collection actions against her.

Is this legal for my niece to sue her and for the insurance company to sue her as well?

The other owner and the insurance co can each look to her for whatever their damages are. no one is entitled to be paid twice but it is possible for the owner and the insurance co to suffer damage in the same incident.
