Q:
What if I know the grocery store had video footage of my slip and fall, but they say they dont?

A:
Grocery stores typically have video cameras that capture the store for their own security purposes; however, those videos may not record the entire store area. Unfortunately, stores know that the footage could be used against them in a matter like a slip and fall accident in Florida.

When someone is injured in a fall accident due to spilled liquid, crushed fruit, or other fall hazards, the grocery store may be held liable for the damages. Unfortunately, supermarkets know that, and they are aware how much these types of claims are worth. For example, medical bills can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars depending on the injury.

When a grocery store acts negligently by destroying the video footage of the fall, there may be other things we can do to still prove your case. We may be able to find witnesses or employees who will talk about your fall.

Additionally, you may be able to show in a demonstration that the video was pointing at the accident scene location and was requested quickly after your accident. Based on those two things, it may be enough for a jury or judge to determine that the supermarket may have destroyed evidence of your South Florida slip and fall accident.

For more information about your potential case, we would need to find out the details of your accident and injuries.
