After a fall injury is reported to store management, store employees often comment on the specific hazard. Some may even admit to knowing about the problem. For instance, in a slip and fall case caused by a leak in a bathroom, a store employee may admit that the manager knew about the leak but had not done anything about it. This kind of fact could prove that before the accident occurred, the store had actual notice of the problem. For trash on the floor or in an aisle, if there are similar circumstances, the store may be liable.
