They knew the floor was wet.
Not because someone came in from the rain and tracked it in moments before you fell. Because the drain near the freezer section had been slow for eleven days. Because the wet floor sign was stored in the break room and required a manager key to access. Because the last three incident reports from that location listed the same aisle and the same condition.
They knew. And the response was not to fix the drain, not to staff the aisle, not to create a monitoring protocol. The response was to place a mat that shifted under weight and to document that the mat was there.
Property owners have a legal duty to inspect, identify, and correct hazardous conditions — or to warn of hazards they cannot immediately correct. When a hazardous condition has been documented across multiple incidents, "we had a mat" is not a defense. It is evidence that the condition was known and the response was inadequate.
I find the prior incident reports and the work order for the drain they didn't fix.
