Depending on your point of view, 2015 was either a good year or a not-so-good year for Wal-Mart in Broward County. A company with as many stores as Wal-Mart should take steps to protect its customers, including correcting dangerous conditions about which it knows or should have known. Wal-Mart sells thousands of products which, some of the time foreseeably, end up on the floor. also, Wal-Mart employees have been known to stack merchandise on shelves in a manner which makes it easy for the merchandise to fall from the shelf and injure somebody. Wal-Mart is a good company, but with so many stores, so much merchandise, and so many team-members (employees), injuries resulting from the negligence of its employees are going to occur with some frequency.
