FRESNO – A Sam's Club shopper alleges she fell at the Fresno store because of a substance on the floor near the frozen foods.
Sevastee Taylor filed a complaint on Aug. 8 in the Fresno County Superior Court against Wal-Mart Stores Inc., doing business as Sam's Club, alleging negligence.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on Aug. 20, 2016, she was at defendant's Sam's Club in Fresno when she was caused to slip and fall because of a slimy substance left on the floor of the frozen foods area. As a result of the fall, the plaintiff alleges she sustained serious bodily injury and incurred hospital and medical expenses.
The plaintiff holds Wal-Mart Stores Inc. responsible because the defendant allegedly failed to take reasonable steps to maintain, prevent, warn or to correct the dangerous condition of the premises to make it safe for invitees.
The plaintiff seeks judgment against defendant for compensatory damages. She is represented by Scott A. VanWagenen of Davis & Van Wagenen in Fresno.
