Stacy Ann Jones filed suit against Wal-Mart Louisiana LLC in the 19th Judicial District Court on July 31.

The plaintiff alleges she suffered serious injuries in the fall.
The defendant is accused of causing or allowing allowing standing water on the floor, failing to provide a safe walkway, failing to have an adequate inspection and clean-up procedure, failing to warn and allowing an unreasonable dangerous condition to exist.
An unspecified amount in damages is sought for medical expenses, mental anguish, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life and travel expenses.
