Today, I was at Walmart walking around when I slipped on some water and twisted my ankle. As I was getting up, a man came up to me and said, "There's some water on the floor, watch out." FML

Today, as I was putting some dishes away, I spilled water on the floor. While walking around the dishwasher, I slipped on said water, and after going to urgent care, found out I tore my meniscus. FML

Today, I slipped on the wet floor at work and sprained my wrist badly. I was carrying the wet floor sign so no one would slip. FML

Today, I was shopping when I suddenly slipped on the wet floor and my basket and my groceries were flung everywhere. Moments later, one of the cleaners walked over holding a "wet floor" sign, saw me and laughed. FML

Today, while working at my job at a nursing home, I slipped and fell. It wouldn't be so bad if it was just water. No, one of the residents had just had an "accident". FML

Today, I was at work at Walmart, casually walking in the middle of the store, when my foot caught on something, so I went flying forward and yelled, being caught off guard, to the point I had to pretend I was running for 3 seconds, then someone blocked my path so I suddenly had to stop. Everyone was staring at me. FML

Supermarket crash

Today, I slipped on a small wet patch of floor in the grocery store and fell flat on my back, bringing my half-full shopping cart down with me. FML

Today, I was at the supermarket when I saw an elderly lady slip on a wet patch of floor. I ran over to help, and I almost fell too before steadying myself. Then some pimply cockmunch of a teen decided to kick my legs out from under me and walk away while laughing his balls off. FML

Today, I was walking down the street, when I slipped and fell on a patch of ice. It wasn't all that embarrassing, until I walked two more feet and slipped again. The second time, a man pulled over and loudly asked if I was drunk. FML

Your fall could be incredibly profitable if you sue everyone indiscriminately.

Wait and see if you need to sue, but don't close the door. I have spinal problems due to a similar fall, that got worse as time went on. Protecting yourself is not being a "bottom feeder".

Haha, I would say the same thing :p But, I'm sorry you fell. I hope your ankle heels fast.

Ankle injuries heal SLOW if at all. Most people can't stay off them entirely until the healing is done, which means it could be made worse.

I'm sorry, but why sue? It's your own fault for not paying attention to where you are walking. It's like the chick who sued McDonalds because they didn't tell her the coffee was hot. It could have been a customer, or maybe they were getting custodial help to get the spill. Just be cautious of where you are walking.

Wal-marts have white tile floors, water is clear and transparent, how could it be the op's fault if practically a large percent of human beings cant tell if there is water in the floor.

I work at fred meyers and it is against policy for us to to leave a spill on the floor even when getting supplies to cleab up the mess. Its a two person job. One watchs the mess to protect our customers from slipping while the other gets the spill kit. So Id say what happened is unacceptable.
