Premises Liability Case Against Major Grocery Store

On the day before trial was to start in Brazos County, Texas, our premises liability attorneys settled a case against a major grocery store chain arising from their neglect of the floral department. When our client was injured, the floral department did not have mats in areas known for frequent water spills from floral arrangements sitting on the floor. These floral arrangements were located in high traffic areas near the cash registers. The area was monitored by the florist, but by no one after the florist left for the day. During this unmonitored time, our client slipped on water from a flower arrangement and severely injured herself. She required surgery on her shoulder and months of physical therapy. It was later determined that the store had a camera which would have recorded the fall, but they had destroyed the videotaped evidence. The case settled for a confidential and appropriate sum.
