Possibly. If it can be shown that they are at fault. She needs to retain a personal injury lawyer immediately.

Hello Clyde,
Sorry to hear about your sister's accident. She should reach out to a Personal Injury attorney for consultation as soon as possible. This could be potentially time sensitive, and she can receive that specific information when she speaks with the attorney experienced with handling Slip and Fall cases. We all provide free initial consultation for contingency representation.

Your sister should definitely call a personal injury lawyer about possible contingency fee representation. You did not indicate how badly she was injured nor how long ago this occurred. It sounds like she only suffered soft tissue injuries, without breaking any bones. She should get checked out by a doctor to determine the extent of her injuries so she can document her medical file.
