Stores are not striclty liable to all persons who are injured on their propwrty. However, if you can legally demonstrate your right to be on the property and that the store failed in any way to provide a safe environment for you while you were on the property, then you would have a potential claim. For example, the store will not be liable if you simply tripped over your own feet or an untied shoe lace, but if you can demonstrate that the store failed to sweep the floor of debris of which you tripped over, over-waxed the floor or failed to clean up a slippery substance in a timely manner then in those instances (and other similar ones) you would have a viable claim.
