wcbstv.com - Surveillance Camera Captures 'Slip-N-Fall' Scam

SUNRISE, Fla.

A Sunrise, Fla. woman is accused of trying to run a 'slip and fall' scam at a grocery store.

Images captured by a surveillance camera inside the store show the woman lose her footing in one of the aisles and take a nasty fall. A store worker comes to her aid and helps her up. The woman then loses her footing again and falls to the floor.

But store manager Luis Diaz noted there was something strange about the 'accident' after viewing the tape.

"When she's falling, she's not falling backward, she's falling forward," said Diaz, "usually when it's a slip and fall, you tend to fall backward."

Diaz decided to do a little investigating on his own and rewound the surveillance tape back even more, and what he found surprised him. On the tape, the same woman, in the same aisle, minutes before her 'slip and fall' accident. On the tape, the woman appears to be trying to open a bottle of olive oil unsuccessfully. The woman puts it back on the shelf, leaves the aisle only to return a few moments later and pick up a new bottle. The tape shows her opening this bottle and pouring some of the oil onto the floor, then she puts the bottle back on the shelf and leaves the aisle.

Minutes later, she returns to aisle and 'slips' on the oil.

"It's not about getting even, it's about her getting things right," said Diaz, "because she's going to try to sue me, sue the store for whatever happened, so I have to make sure everybody knows this is a fraud."

Diaz has found the bottle she used to make the spill and is keeping it safe. He also said he's glad that he spent more than $30,000 to install a new sophisticated surveillance system in the store.

"At the end of the day it paid for itself," said Diaz, "because of things like this. If you don't have a system that records everything, you lose money."

jeez, frickin people will try anything. if i were gonna try that, i would make sure i actually fuckin hurt myself. try and fall back and crank your head or somethin. and use your own olive oil atleast. then they cant put 2 and 2 together when they see it on the floor and a opened bottle on the shelf

when I work grocery retail that was the thing to do we would catch stupid people doing that kind of shit all the time last time i checked a slip and fall was worth 35,000 here in AZ. Even if you have sighs posted peolpe would still go around them and pull that shit security would focus cameras on them catch them and the company would stil pay because they would say "it's to much trouble to try and take them to court half of the time the customer had nothing to loss so if they lost in court good luck in trying to recover damages and court costs.
