Man Arrested For Filing Fraudulent Slip And Fall Claim Against Walmart.

Anytime you enter a building, it is expected and required that a certain level of safety be upheld to make sure that nobody is injured. This means that there needs to be adequate lighting, dry floors, and proper railings in the stairwells, to name a few. If a property owner fails to maintain a safe environment, there is a risk someone may be injured. While filing a personal injury lawsuit may seem difficult and discouraging, it may also be the only way for a victim to begin to recover from their injuries. Our expert slip and fall personal injury lawyers here at our Boston law firm will be able to help guide you through this complicated litigation process.

A 23 year-old Orlando, Florida man has been arrested and is facing two felonies, false and fraudulent insurance claims and scheme to defraud, after filing a fraudulent claim against Walmart seeking $100,000 for supposedly slipping in a puddle at one of their stores. After the alleged accident, the man began compiling substantial medical bills for treatment by a chiropractor, injections to his right shoulder, and for 5 MRIs and 2 X-rays. His bills totaled more than $20,000.

However, video cameras in the store recorded the man on the day he “slipped.” The video showed that the man walked through the puddle, slipping slightly, before walking away and returning with two females. They are seen discussing something and pointing at the puddle. The man returned a second time, leaving marks on the ground around the puddle, before returning a third time and falling in the presence of a worker.

If you or a loved one has been injured after slipping and falling, and it was due to the negligence of someone else, then you may be entitled to money compensation for your injuries.
