I slipped on a wet floor in a grocery store. Do I have a personal injury case even though there was a sign up?

I slipped and fell at a grocery and injured both my wrists and legs. They were actually cleaning the floors and there were cautionary signs put up. However, these floors were extremely slippery and much more than I ever experienced. It was just a small isle that no one else was walking through, but I doubt anyone that walked through that area could have remained on two feet. Do I have a case?

Grocery Stores and Supermarkets are generally held liable for slip and fall accidents that arise from liquids falling on the floor, goods and other products on the floor or aisles, and faulty shopping carts. Negligence of the store owner must be proven. When the “wet caution” signs are up, it usually is considered as proper notice from the store owner to free them of any liability for a slip and fall that may occur. However, your case does sound unusual and even though that sign was up, the store owner may have been negligent and applied much more cleaning solution than required. Perhaps they should have temporarily blocked off that aisle. Consult with an attorney immediately as they should be able to advise you on this matter.
