JENKINTOWN PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEYS

This is a premises liability case and you must be able to prove that Wal-Mart knew or should have known that the soap had spilled and failed to take reasonable steps to protect and warn you about the danger (soap).

The key in your case is proving how long the dangerous condition (the soap) existed before your fall. Wal-Mart can avoid  liability if the soap had just spilled and they didn’t know about it.

The most important piece of evidence may be video surveillance tapes. Hiring a lawyer shortly after your fall is important so video surveillance evidence can be preserved. The lawyers at Mednick, Mezyk & Kredo will immediately request the tape be saved from several hours before your fall so we can determine how long the soap was present on the aisle before the accident.

It is also important to gather witness information, fill out an incident report, take pictures with your phone, and of course seek immediate medical attention for your injuries.
