Customer Blames Supermarket for Injuries

When people slip and fall, they often believe it was their own fault. In reality, when a property owner fails to maintain their premise safe or fails to warn visitors of potential hazards, the victim may seek compensation for damages incurred.

A woman has filed a lawsuit against a major supermarket chain alleging the store’s negligence led to her slip-and-fall injuries.

The lawsuit alleges that the plaintiff was shopping in the paper products aisle when she suddenly slipped and fell due to a liquid substance on the floor. As a result, the woman says she suffered physical injuries, damages, and incurred medical expenses. According to the claim, the defendant failed to uphold its duty to maintain and keep its premise safe, failed to post signage to warn customers that the area was slippery, and failed to mop up the liquid in a timely manner. The plaintiff seeks a trial by jury and damages up to $50,000.

This plaintiff should be prepared for a long legal battle. Large supermarket chains have high-powered attorneys well versed in how to litigate cases, making it difficult for an innocent victim to receive the compensation he/she may be entitled to obtain. They will drag out the case as long as possible hoping the plaintiff will give up due to financial needs. For those struggling financially to pay additional expenses compounded by lost wages, lawsuit funding may be helpful.

Lawsuit funding is a cash advance giving a plaintiff the staying power necessary to avoid settling for pennies on the dollar. It puts a plaintiff in a better position to fully recover the highest possible settlement. Once an application and supporting documentation is received, Lawsuit Financial will review the merits of the case. If approved, the cash advance can be receive in 24 – 48 hours.

Lawsuit funding does not require a credit check, employment verification, or collateral. Best of all, funds are only repaid when the case settles. If the plaintiff does not win the case, the cash advance is completely waived.
