Patti Weaver has filed a lawsuit against Publix Supermarkets, Inc., alleging negligence after a slip-and-fall incident at one of its stores. The complaint was filed in the Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County, Florida, on February 20, 2025. Weaver claims that Publix’s failure to maintain safe premises led to her injuries.

The incident occurred on July 31, 2023, when Patti Weaver visited a Publix store located at 1538 South Federal Highway in Delray, Palm Beach County. As a business invitee exercising due care for her safety, Weaver slipped on a liquid substance on the floor while shopping. The complaint alleges that this was due to the careless and negligent maintenance of the floors by Publix and its employees. Weaver asserts that Publix had a duty to keep the premises safe and warn patrons of any dangerous conditions but failed to do so.

Weaver’s complaint outlines several specific accusations against Publix. It accuses the company of negligently failing to maintain or adequately inspect the flooring, creating an unreasonably dangerous condition for customers like herself. Furthermore, it claims that Publix did not have adequate staff assigned to inspect and maintain the floors or train employees properly regarding these duties. The lawsuit also alleges that Publix neglected its corporate policies related to floor safety and failed to enforce them effectively.
