Big box stores like Wal-Mart and Target understand that they have a legal responsibility to keep their premises safe for customers. This is why these companies usually have detailed policies for their managers and employees explaining various safety procedures in detail. Of course, just because there is a procedure does not mean it is always followed.<\/p>\n

If that policy is not followed\u2013or the manager simply fails to identify a clear spill\u2013the store could be on the hook if a customer sustains an injury. It may not even be an intentional act. Perhaps there was a miscommunication and a manager simply forgot to do a check.<\/p>\n
