A slip and fall may seem like a fast and simple accident, but they can often lead to injuries and pain that require medical attention and time taken off from work. Something as preventable as a slip and fall can leave a victim feeling lost in expensive medical bills, pain, and reduced wages because of inability to work from an injury.

If a customer or guest of a supermarket, such as Winn Dixie gets injured in a slip and fall accident due to a hazardous condition within the store, then they are responsible for proving that the accident was caused by negligence of a property owner or manager and not by their own carelessness. This means that you must be able to provide proof in your case of a dangerous condition or hazard, and that the property owner or manager knew about the situation and neglected to fix it.

If you or a loved one slips or trips and falls at a supermarket such as a Winn Dixie grocery store, you may just want to simply “brush it off” as you may feel embarrassed. Do not ignore the severity of the situation. Injuries may not always present themselves immediately, they can appear over time and cause health issues, expensive medical bills and lost wages.

Seek medical attention, even if your injuries do not seem severe.
