Wal-Mart -- like any other retail company -- will require you to prove the extent and severity of any premise injury.
You will need to present proof, i.e. medical documentation of the injury.
Given that you have gone 4+ weeks since the fall without seeing a doctor, IMO, your claim likely has no real value. Treatment gaps -- especialyy right after the incident, are real killers.
