Case Background

On January 20, 2022, Plaintiff Tamika Springer filed a Premises Liability lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Florida, Broward County (Case number: CACE22000895). William W. Haury Jr. Presided over this case.

Cause

On November 25, 2020, Saiy-Yah Allen, a minor, entered the Wal-Mart store located at 2500 W. Broward Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with his mother and legal guardian, Tamika Springer. The store was owned and operated by Wal-Mart Stores East, LP. At that time, John Doe, a Wal-Mart employee, improperly placed a metal cart in a walkway commonly used by customers. This cart obstructed the path and created a hazardous condition that store staff failed to address. Wal-Mart had a duty to maintain a safe environment for all customers, including Saiy-Yah Allen. Despite this obligation, the store allowed a dangerous condition to exist, posing an immediate risk to customers. As Saiy-Yah Allen walked through the walkway, unaware of the hazard, he struck his head on the metal cart. The placement of the cart violated basic safety standards, as it obstructed a foreseeable pathway. Wal-Mart and John Doe failed to conduct routine inspections or provide warnings about the hazard. This negligence caused Saiy-Yah Allen's injuries, highlighting key issues in the Wal-Mart injury lawsuit and premises liability claim

Injuries

The impact of the metal cart caused Saiy-Yah Allen to suffer significant head and bodily injurie
