A 73 year-old woman slipped and fell on a wet floor in a national big box store in upstate New York. Video showed that water had dripped off shopping carts that had just been returned from the parking lot during a storm. The chain’s own procedure of wiping down carts during a storm had not been followed. Our client sustained a hairline fracture of the pubis ramus, and a complete, full thickness, traumatic tear of the hamstring.
