I slipped on a broken jar in the grocery store and fell, breaking my wrist. The store says their clean-up crew had no chance to wipe up the glass before I slipped, so they are not responsible. Is this true?

The attorney for the store may try to use this argument, but it is unlikely to be successful in court. In general, businesses are responsible for the negligence of their cleaning crew.
