For those who are planning to visit a grocery store in the near future, be aware of the following statistics collected by the Center for Disease Control (CDC):

  • Slip and fall accidents are the most common cause of traumatic brain injuries.
  • More than 1 million Americans suffer injuries in slip, trip and fall accidents annually.
  • Of the one million Americans who suffer a slip and fall accident each year, 17,000 die from their injuries.

Slip and fall accidents are often compensable under the law because they are generally preventable.  Cities, towns and municipalities, as well as other property owners, owe a duty of care to pedestrians to maintain their sidewalks, walkways, paths and roadways in a safe condition.  When they fail to eliminate or create potential hazards, they may be held liable for any injuries or lasting effects that follow.

On July 15, 2013, Barbara Benoit, a Louisiana native, was shopping at the Winn Dixie supermarket in Covington.  As she finished up her shopping, Mrs. Benoit realized that she had forgotten something, so she left the checkout line to walk back down an aisle.  When she did so, she slipped in a puddle of clear liquid on the store floor.  Unable to regain her balance, Mrs. Benoit fell on her shoulder and buttocks. 

On July 9, 2014, Mrs. Benoit filed a personal injury lawsuit against the Winn Dixie Corporation in the 22nd Judicial District Court of Louisiana.  According to her lawsuit, the store failed to properly maintain the premises in a safe and clean manner.  Her injuries caused by the slip and fall were severe and required many days of recovery and treatment.  Mrs. Benoit and her attorneys have requested an unspecified amount of money damages to redress her severe physical pain, mental anguish, medical expenses, lost wages, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, legal interest and attorneys’ fees.
