82. The patrons were hurt on Wal Mart's property. End of story.
That ALONE entitles them to potential damages. Your shoelace analogy doesn't work because YOU are the negligent party. But, slip on something that was spilled, get hurt, and sue.

The store could be proven negligent in part in that tramplings resulting in injury in this same exact case have happened in the past and therefore they had hindsight to prevent it.
