❓ Situation
The lead slipped on a wet floor inside a supermarket. They admit they saw a visible "Caution: Wet Floor" sign placed right where the incident occurred.
❌ Valid Claim?
No.
If the warning sign was clearly visible and properly placed, the store has fulfilled its duty to warn. The claim is not valid.
🧠 Agent Notes
Ask: “Did you see any warning signs in the area?”
Confirm: “Was the sign in your direct path and clearly visible before the fall?”
✅ Valid Version of This Scenario
If the sign was hidden, placed around a corner, or had fallen over, the lead may still have a valid claim.
