Florida Court Dismissed Slip and Fall near Publix Deli Counter
Updated: 8/7/15
In Publix Super Markets, Inc. v. Schmidt, 509 So. 2d 977 (Fla. 4th DCA 1987), Dorothy M. Schmidt and Walter C. Schmidt, her Husband sued Publix.
Before I get to the facts of the Schmidt case, I want to say that a 2015 Florida case, Garcia v. Wal-Mart Stores East, LP, Dist. Court, MD 2015 (in Orlando) cited the Schmidt case. (Learn about slip and fall injury claims against Florida Walmart stores.)
Even though this is an older case, it is still good law. Therefore, it applies to current slip and fall cases against Publix and other supermarkets.
