Navigation Plaintiffs Allege Negligence Against Retail Giant Following Slip-and-Fall Incident
A couple in Palm Beach County has taken legal action against a major retail corporation following an incident that allegedly left one of them injured. On December 23, 2024, Marisol Cruz-Sokol and John Sokol filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in Palm Beach County, Florida, against Target Corporation and its employee, Liam Alejandro Flores Silva.
The lawsuit stems from an incident on December 2, 2023, when Marisol Cruz-Sokol visited a Target store located at 10201 Hagen Ranch Road in Boynton Beach. While shopping in the seasonal section of the store, she reportedly slipped on a sanitizing wipe that was left on the floor. The complaint claims that this wipe constituted an “unreasonably dangerous and/or hazardous condition.” According to the plaintiffs’ allegations, Target Corporation failed to maintain safe premises for its customers and neglected its duty to warn about potential hazards. They argue that Target had actual or constructive knowledge of the dangerous condition but did not take appropriate measures to address it.
Marisol Cruz-Sokol’s negligence claim against Target asserts that the company breached its duty of care by failing to inspect and maintain the premises safely. She accuses Target of several lapses, including inadequate staffing for proper maintenance and failure to correct or remove hazardous conditions. As a result of these alleged failures, Marisol claims she suffered bodily injuries leading to pain, suffering, disability, disfigurement, mental anguish, loss of income, and medical expenses.
