Walmart’s negligence may cause your injury.
If so, you may be able to get compensated.
This article is about general accident claims, other than slip and falls, against Walmart in Florida. I wrote separates articles on:
- Slip and fall accident claims against Walmart in Florida
- Trip and fall accident claims against Walmart in Florida
Article May Also Apply to Sam’s Club
This article may also apply to injury claims against Sam’s Club (owned by Walmart). It also applies to other Florida discount department stores, warehouse stores and other stores.
However, I focus on Walmart.
Walmart Fails to Save Surveillance Video After Customer’s Shopping Cart Collapses
Learn about a case where customer claimed that her shopping cart collapsed in a Royal Palm Beach, Florida Walmart store. They didn’t save the cart/video.
Call 911 If Your Badly Hurt
A 911 call audio recording or transcript may be important to help you prove your claim, so you may want to request it.
Take An Ambulance To The Hospital If Necessary.
Whether or not you take an ambulance may affect your injury case value.
Take Pictures/Video of Whatever Caused your Accident
Immediately take pictures and video of whatever you believe was caused your accident. Do not just take 1 close up picture of the object.
f you are unable to take pictures, have a friend take them. A Walmart employee will take pictures of the area where you fell.
Walmart has many video cameras throughout the store. Walmart’s video cameras may even pick up audio. Do not assume that just because there are video cameras in the area of your accident that they were working at the time of your accident.
Some of the video cameras may be “dummy” (fake) cameras and not work. Do not assume that Walmart will keep this video if it exists.
Get names and contact information of any witnesses
You want contact information of any witnesses who saw your accident, saw the area where it happened, or saw the substance that you fell on. As soon as possible, you want to have each witness sign an affidavit – a sworn statement – stating what they observed.
This is a sample witness affidavit that I used in a trip and fall case at a condominium complex where the total settlement was $75,000. Every settlement on this website is before our attorney’s fees and expenses.
Most cases result in a lower recovery. It should not be assumed that your case will have as beneficial a result.
Quickly Report the Claim to the Store Manager
If you get hurt at Walmart, you should immediately report your accident to the store.
Who handles Walmart’s Claims for Florida Accidents?
Walmart has a huge in-house claims operation.
Claims Management Inc.
Walmart has a wholly owned TPA subsidiary, Claims Management Inc.
Walmart has 600 associates in that organization who are in charge of the claims management process.
How Do You Notify Walmart of a Personal Injury Claim?
You should notify Walmart of your personal injury claim by sending a certified (return receipt requested) letter to both of the addresses below:
Claims Management Inc.
P.O. Box 14731
Lexington, KY 40512-4731
Phone: 800-527-0566
Fax: 479-277-4295
Claims
Walmart
702 SW 8th Street
Bentonville, AR 72716-8611
Also, send a certified mail return receipt letter to the actual store where you fell. The purpose of this letter is so that Walmart can open up a claim for you and preserve any evidence that may help you prove your case.
Hard to Find the Fax Number for Walmart Stores Online
I had some difficulty finding the fax numbers for Walmart stores online. This is a sample letter notifying Walmart of your injury claim and requesting that they preserve store surveillance video and other evidence.
Will Walmart Pay For My Initial Hospital Visit if I’m Injured At Walmart?
There is a 99% chance that Walmart won’t immediately pay your ER visit if you were hurt while shopping there. Don’t waste your time giving Walmart’s information to the hospital.
Once you’re finished with your medical treatment, Walmart may pay for your medical bills.
This assumes that Walmart’s negligence caused your injury.
Will Walmart Send Me to a Doctor if Injured At Walmart?
No. Don’t expect Walmart to send you to a doctor. Don’t expect them to immediately pay your bills.
Should I Give My Own Health Insurance to the Hospital if I’m Injured at Walmart?
Yes. Use your own health insurance for your medical treatment.
Don’t Give a Recorded Statement to Walmart
When the claims adjuster from Walmart calls you, do NOT give a recorded statement. You aren’t required to give a statement.
You don’t benefit by giving a recorded statement. It can only hurt you. Sometimes the disadvantage can be huge.
Friendly Doesn’t Mean They’ll Pay Your Case
Just because a claims adjuster is friendly does not mean that he or she will pay you to settle your case. Walmart injury claims adjusters likely have been handling cases for many years.
They likely know the right questions to ask. They may ask you a question that seems like it is not important to you.
One word in your answer may kill your case. This is even more true if you give a recorded statement.
You Won’t Know if What You’re Saying Hurts Your Case
Most victims do not even know when their case has been lost after speaking with the claims adjuster.
You may think that you are on great terms and Walmart will gladly take care of your claim.
Even if Walmart asks for your medical bills or proof of your lost wages, this does not mean that they are going to pay them.
Although the standard letter that I send Walmart requests its insurance information, in most cases with Walmart you should not be overly concerned about its insurer because it is self-insured for a large amount.
In the more serious cases (multiple surgeries, brain injuries, etc.), there may be multiple layers of liability insurance coverage.
Don’t Give an Unrecorded Statement Either
I would not even give an unrecorded statement until you have a seen the video of the incident and you are completely finished getting all the medical treatment that you need.
Falling Objects or Merchandise
If an item falls from a shelve and hits you, Walmart may be at fault and have to pay for your damages. A hotly contested issue in falling merchandise cases is whether the falling object caused your injury.
Learn more about claims for personal injury caused if you’re struck by an object in a Florida store.
What Happens if a Walmart Employee Injures You?
If you are walking in Walmart and you are injured by an employee, you may have a personal injury case against Walmart. The most common ways that a Walmart employee can injured you are as follows:
– An employee rolls or pushes a pallet jack over your foot or into you.
– An employee pushes a cart into you.
– An employee walks into you.
– An employee drops a heavy object on you.
If are injured by a Walmart employee in one of the above ways, you may have a case against Walmart.
Walmart May Owe You Your Bills, Lost Wages, Pain and Suffering
This means that Walmart may be responsible to pay for your damages (medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering).
You May Be at Fault for Not Looking Where You’re Going
Walmart will probably argue that you were not looking where you were going and that your damages should be reduced by your percentage of fault.
For example, if you or your children are running through Walmart, and an employee walks into you or your children, you have a more difficult case than if you were standing still or walking at a reasonable speed.
If your child is injured and he or she is under the age of six, then Walmart generally cannot place fault on your child. But you would still need to show that a Walmart employee was careless and this caused your child’s injuries.
Time limit to Sue Walmart in Florida
If Walmart’s negligence caused your injury while you were a guest in a Florida store, then you have 4 years to sue Walmart. There is a time limit within which you must report your work-related accident to your employer.
How Long Does it take to Settle a Case with Walmart?
There are many different factors that affect how long an injury case may take to settle. There is no guarantee that Walmart will offer to settle your claim.
Personal injury cases against Walmart should take a similar time to settle as compared with accident cases at other stores.
Walmart is worth $217 Billion dollars.
Walmart’s Has Self-Insurance Reserves of $15 Million
Walmart’s 2014 Annual Report states:
“The Company uses a combination of insurance, self-insured retention (SIR) and self-insurance for a number of risks, including, but not limited to, workers’ compensation, general liability, vehicle liability, property…The Company also maintains stop-loss insurance coverage for workers’ compensation and general liability of $5 million and $15 million, respectively, per occurrence, to limit exposure to certain risks.”
Stop-loss insurance (also known as excess insurance) is a product that provides protection for Walmart by serving as a reimbursement mechanism for catastrophic claims exceeding pre-determined levels.
Catastrophic injuries are life altering injuries like paralysis, brain injury and more.
Defective Product Claims against Walmart in Florida
Walmart may sell a customer a dangerous product that causes injury. If so, the injured person may have an injury case against Walmart.
The victim may also have a case against the distributor and manufacturer.
Juror sympathy for Walmart in Florida
Most personal injury cases don’t go to trial. However, Walmart’s claim adjuster will evaluate the case as if it is going to trial.
In general, if all other things are equal, a juror is more sympathetic (more likely to favor ) to the injured person than they are to a huge corporation such as Walmart.
This is because it is difficult for jurors to put themselves in the shoes of a $244 Billion dollar corporation such as Walmart. But ultimately the facts of your case are what will decide the outcome.
Injury Claims against Walmart Tire–Lube Express Operations in Florida
Someone may have their tires or oil serviced at a Walmart in Florida. Walmart may do the job carelessly.
If Walmart’s carelessness caused injury to the customer, he or she may have a case against Walmart.
Lawsuit Claims Bad Tires Installed by Walmart Caused Rollover Crash
This is not my case. The Clarks claim that Wal-Mart negligently failed to inspect all of the tires on the Clarks’ Chevy Suburban and warn them that one of the tires suffered tread-belt separation.
According to the lawsuit, this led to a rollover car crash. Brittany Compton and Mikael, Jackson, and Brooklyn Clark suffered bodily injuries.
Nicole Clark suffered injuries resulting in permanent quadriplegia. Walmart tried to get this case removed from state court to federal court. However, the court said that Walmart did not request removal in time.
Court Sends Case Back to State Court
The court sent the case back to state court.
Ms. Clark’s attorney said that as a result of the accident, already incurred $615,765.39 in medical bills from 18 different medical providers. An economic loss report showed past life care expenses for Ms. Clark in the hundreds of thousands of dollars and future life-care plan expenses presently valued at $8,406,095.
The case is still ongoing. The case is Clark v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., Dist. Court, ND Florida 2015.
Federal Court Sends Another Walmart Accident Case Back to State Court
Rosemary Freeman sued Wal-Mart Stores, East, LP in state court. As it often does in Florida, Walmart removed the case to federal court by arguing that the customer was suing for over $75,000.
Walmart asked Freeman to admit that she is asking for more than $75,000. Freeman said that she didn’t have enough info to admit or deny this.
Freeman did say that Plaintiff she believes that the present settlement value of the case is less than $75,000 because the out of pocket medical expenses and liens total less than $4,000. She claimed that Walmart said the case is worth $0.
However, she said that she continued to suffer from her injuries that resulted from this incident, will likely require additional medical treatment. She said that it in the future, the claim may be worth $75,000.
However, she continued to suffer from her injuries that resulted from this incident, will likely require additional medical treatment, and it may be that in the future, the claim is worth $75,000.
The federal court sent the case back to state court. The United States District Court, M.D. Florida, Tampa Division issued its ruling on November 17, 2014.
The case is Freeman v. Wal-Mart Stores East, LP, Dist. Court, MD Florida 2014.
Injured by a Crime on Walmart Property
Walmart has a duty (obligation) to make its property safe. If you are injured by a crime (a shooting, rape, murder, etc.) inside or outside of a Walmart, you may have a case against both the Walmart and the company that manages or owns the shopping center.
Where is Walmart’s Home Office?

Husband of Lady Who Slipped and Fell in Walmart says
Hi, my wife slipped on some liquid in Walmarts entrance 2 days ago and filled out an accident report with the manager. She was hurt in 4 places and traumatised with little help from the employees. Any suggestions
Justin Ziegler, Miami Injury Lawyer says
Dear Husband of Lady Who Slipped and Fell,
I suggest speaking with an attorney immediately.
Justin Ziegler, Florida Injury Lawyer, Site Owner says
Hi Husband of Lady Who Slipped and Fell,
I would immediately send a written request to Walmart asking them to preserve the video for the day before the fall, the day of the fall, and the day after the fall. Although I have heard that at least one Walmart store keeps its store surveillance video for 60 days, I would not rely on Walmart preserving (keeping) the video. The letter that you send should be sent certified mail return receipt to the store that your wife fell at, as well as to the Walmart claims office (address if provide in the article above).
If you have a fax or email address for Walmart, you should also email and fax the letter to Walmart. You should be sure to save a copy of the fax confirmation.
If you email the letter to Walmart, you should request a delivery receipt and read receipt. It is possible to do this on Microsoft Outlook and I believe if you have a paid version of Google Apps.
If your wife is injured she should get medical treatment if she feels that she needs it. Even if a Walmart claims adjuster calls or writes to her, I suggest that she does not speak with a Walmart representative before she speaks with an attorney. You stated that she filled out an accident report. Because she did this, there is nothing that can be gained by speaking with Walmart until your wife has completed medical treatment and she knows the full extent of her injuries.
If your wife was injured in Florida, or if she lives in Florida and was injured in another state, she is welcome to contact me to speak about her incident. There is no charge for her to speak with me. If I am able to represent her, I only get paid if I we settle the case or get a judgement (win at trial) against Walmart.
If the incident occurred in Florida, there is a time limit to file a lawsuit. I am not your attorney. This is not legal advice.

Justin Ziegler, Miami Injury Lawyer says
Anonymous #2,
Thank you for the inquiry. I cannot comment on any claim or case involving Illinois law because I am only licensed in Florida. You should immediately speak with a personal injury lawyer in Illinois.
Person Who Slipped and Fell on Water says
I slipped and fell on water that was on floor and had bruises to thigh been to the doctor twice Walmart wants to settle for a little of nothing and pay doctor bill. Should I settle?
Justin Ziegler, Miami Injury Lawyer says
Dear Person Who Slipped and Fell on Water,
I will assume that your accident happened in Florida. I am licensed in Florida so that is the only state on which I can comment. So my answer only applies to a slip and fall in a Walmart store in Florida. There are many questions that I have that would help me give a good answer to your question.
Without knowing answers to these questions, my answer to your question depends on when you slipped and fell. If you slipped and fell a few years ago, the only injury that you had was bruises to your thigh which healed, and you do not need any more medical treatment, then I would say that now is a good time to begin settlement discussions. On the other hand, if you recently fell, I do not recommend settling your case now because you do not know how much medical treatment you may need.
In Florida, you have to prove that Walmart had actual or constructive knowledge that the water was on the floor before you fell.
Have you asked Walmart to send you a video of the 2 hours before your slip and fall? If not, I would do so immediately. Sometimes the claims adjuster will share the video with you.
How much is the “little to nothing” that you say Walmart wants to settle for? $100, $500, $1000, $5,000?
How much is the doctor’s bill that Walmart is willing to pay? That may indicate whether the claims adjuster feels like they are at fault for the incident.
Walmart may make an offer to settle a case before a lawsuit for a fraction of what it will offer in a lawsuit. What is equally as scary is that some attorneys will recommend that their client settle the case for this fraction for one of 2 reasons. They are improperly evaluating the case or they are not willing to spend the time and money to file a lawsuit.
Now, this doesn’t mean that Walmart will always pay more if a lawsuit is filed, but it is something that you should know. If Walmart is offering fair value before a lawsuit, then I don’t think that they will offer more than fair value during the lawsuit. Thus, it is not always appropriate to file a lawsuit. The majority of personal injury claims are settled before a lawsuit is filed.
I wish that I could give a Yes or No answer to your question, but as you can see there are many things (I just named a few) that any attorney would need to know in order to give you a good answer.
I tell prospective clients that “If you are not sure whether you should settle your case, then you probably need an injury lawyer.” I mean no disrespect by this but an accident attorney such as myself (and many others) handle these cases 40 hours a week (or more) all year round and hopefully has been doing it for many years.
I have almost 10 years experience handling slip and fall cases for people injured in Florida and on cruise ships. There are no Fees or costs unless I recover money. Call me at (888) 594-3577 to get a free consultation now! I accept calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. My office is in Miami and I handle cases throughout all of Florida and on cruise ships.
Statute of limitations. There is a time limit to file a lawsuit. As you know, I have not filed any lawsuit for you or on your behalf. I am not your attorney. This is not legal advice.
Person Hit By Shopping Cart says
should i give a statement? The adjuster called but it was late and I made an appointment. I was hit with a shopping cart in a crowded entry way at Walmart by the registers between the middle display coming in not a lot of room when crowded. our statements were taken by a manger and she assured that camera was working and would be pulled to show accident Who would be responsible for my bills?
Justin Ziegler, Injury Lawyer says
Dear Person Hit By Shopping Cart in Walmart,
My answer only applies if this incident happened in Florida, which is where I am licensed to practice. I suggest that you do not give a statement at this time. As long as you were not a Walmart employee at the time of the incident, then you have no duty to give a statement.
I strongly suggest that you send Walmart, and its claims company – Claims Management, a request to preserve video and audio for the entire day of this incident. If you have not already done so, you should report the incident.
This is what you should do in regards to your medical bills. Your health insurance may pay for your medical bills.
If you have Medicare, Medicaid, VA, Tricare, etc. then they may pay for your medical bills. You may also make a claim for your medical bills and other damages against Walmart, the person who hit you, and/or any other party who was negligent.
I assume that you were not working at the time of the incident. If you were working, then you should immediately notify your employer of the incident. In that case, your employer may provide benefits.
There is a time limit to file a lawsuit. In regards to a claim against Walmart, there is a time limit in Florida to file a lawsuit.
I wish you good luck. While a do accept personal injury claims – against Walmart or anyone – in Tampa and throughout Florida, I am unable to represent you in this particular case.
This is not legal advice.

I was stopped leaning on my cart looking something up on my phone. A walmart worker came crashing in to my cart with a big metal cart. It jolted me. A few minutes later I was dizzy and had neck pain. I have a history of a concussion a few years ago so I’m sensitive to any abrupt movements. I went and sat down and felt horrible. I filled out an incident report. What should I do??

Fell at Dollar Store says
I slipped and fell on feces in a dollar general store that was on the floor. I have serious injuries to my back was told that I need a plate, rod, screws and a very involved surgery, which would take hours. I am suffering and having difficulty walking.
I have been seen at the hospital twice, had an MRI many doctor visits, physical therapy at home a home health care nurse. I am currently using a walker and a wheel chair.
I have an incident report from Dollar General and the manager had to assist me in being helped up from the floor along with another person. I have consulted an attorney however he is not sent me any correspondence to or from Dollar General and I am seeking another attorney.
Would you be interested in my case, I have been told by the doctor’s that I could be paralyzed I am as far as the doctors and my decision I am not interested in having surgery as the possible outcome as to what could happen to me.
I am through as far as the surgeon is concerned unless I have surgery and I do not want to keep seeking the same answer and creating more doctor bills as I have Medicare and they have contacted me about no one sending information about the fall I need an attorney that is ready to get this case moving.
If you can help me would you please contact me I am 63 and will be 64 in April.
