Navigation Plaintiff sues Walmart over slip-and-fall accident
A slip-and-fall incident at a local Walmart has escalated into a legal battle, as the plaintiff seeks justice for injuries sustained due to alleged negligence. Tanya Ryan filed a complaint against Walmart, Inc. and its store manager, John Doe, in the Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County, Florida on September 19, 2024.
The lawsuit claims that on May 30, 2024, Ryan visited the Walmart Supercenter located at 2144 W. Indiantown Rd in Jupiter, FL as a business invitee. While shopping, she slipped and fell due to water spilled on the floor of one of the aisles. According to the complaint, Walmart had actual knowledge of the hazardous condition or should have known about it through reasonable care. Ryan asserts that Walmart failed to maintain its premises in a safe condition and neglected to warn her of latent dangers.
Ryan’s attorney Marius Boeru from Morgan & Morgan P.A., states that Walmart breached its duty by allowing a hazardous condition to exist and failing to inspect or correct it adequately. “The Defendant negligently created and/or allowed a hazardous condition to exist on its premises which was reasonably foreseeable to cause injury,” Boeru argues in the filing.
