Slip & fall accidents can happen anywhere from airports to hotels and from restaurants to shopping centers. Increasingly, these accidents happen at South Florida's "big box" warehouse-style stores, including Wal-Mart, Lowe's, Home Depot and many others.
Rosen & Rosen has successfully taken on both the big box stores and smaller local stores for their negligently failing to exercise reasonable care in the maintenance, inspection, repair, warning, or mode of operation of their business premises which result in injuries to innocent patrons in their stores. Among some of our more notable results, Ronald and Evan Rosen successfully tried a case against Wal-Mart in which the jury returned a verdict for a slip and fall in excess of $1.3 million, the seventh largest verdict in Broward County for that year. The firm has also obtained a large verdict against Bloomingdale’s in another trip and fall matter. For more information about these cases and the verdicts, please review our Cases page.
In the Wal-mart case, a 30-year old woman slipped on body shampoo that had been spilled on the tile floor and fell backwards, slamming her head on a shelf and causing a severe rotary dislocation of the top two vertebrae in her neck. After four successful surgeries, she has returned to being a productive citizen.
The jury concluded the store was negligent for not cleaning up a spill and for not keeping the store in a safe condition. The jury awarded our client $371,389 for past medical expenses, $148,500 for future medical expenses, $17,000 for past lost earnings, $467,000 for past pain and suffering, and $297,000 for future pain and suffering.
If you've been injured in a slip and fall, don’t get stuck paying for someone else’s negligence. Consult with an experienced premises liability lawyer before you speak with any insurance company representative. Insurance firms must minimize their costs to stay in business, so they will offer a settlement that represents their best interests -- not yours.

While often times, stores improperly pack shelving causing a spill or an employee or store policy creates an unsafe condition, a store not properly cleaning up property after another patron has spilled a slippery substance on the floor is a common occurrence. While stores do not have the duty to constantly monitor and maintain their premises, they do have a duty to keep their premises in a safe and clean manner. This includes a duty to clean a spill or fix an unsafe condition within a reasonable time period after they knew or should have known of it. As well, stores have an obligation to follow their own maintenance protocols for cleaning a store, should they have one in place.
