Asked on Jul 22nd, 2012 on Slip and Fall - New Jersey
More details to this question:
i filled out the paperwork went to the doctors the next day and was told I had twisted my knee, Had to stay off my feet for about a week. I called target and told them what happen and that I was flying to london for vacation, it was non refundable. When I got back I was told it was not there fault because someone was in the area and they can''t follow everyone around.
There are multiple surveillance cameras in the Target, as well as deliveries, other customers, etc. There might be some way to determine what caused you to fall, and whether or not Target had a duty to keep the floors clean. The problem is: what is your damage ? If you fell, and were told to stay off your leg for a week, did that solve the problem? Ir is there any follow up required? If not, you probably do not have a claim because you were not "damaged".
