Sorry to hear about your fall.  A property owner has a duty to maintain its premises in a reasonably safe condition and is only responsible for injuries caused by dangerous conditions it either created, knew about or, in the exercise of reasoanble care, should have known about.  If your fall occurred outside because the ground was wet from the weather, you would not have a case.  If your fall took place inside the store, you might have the case if Walmart either knew about the wet floor condition or should have known about it and failed to clean it up (such as if the floor was wet for an appreciable length of time.  And a case would only make sense in the event that you suffered an actual physical injury. Hope this helps. Best regards, Jonathan R. Ratchik, Esq. Kramer, Dunleavy & Ratchik, PLLC 61 Broadway, Suite 2220 New York, NY  10006 (212) 226-6662 http://kdrpilawyers.com/
