RaceTrac Hit With Another Personal Injury Suit

•  severe injuries and damages from the fall. This is all about another person has chosen to sue the same deep-pocketed, out-of-state corporation for a slip and fall.

• <a href="http://www.compensationie.com/slip-and-fall-injury-compensation/"><b>Slip and Fall Injury Compensation</b></a> Slip and fall injuries are quite common in our daily life. It is becoming more and more hustle and bustle with each day. This is due to number of reasons. in fact many slip and fall injury cases results in compensation claims.

• Whak_a_mole is correct there is no RaceTrac location at 1200 S. Pine Island Rd in Hollywood, Florida. The picture for the article is not a RaceTrac location. That address does house the offices for CT Corporation a company that serves as the registered agent for many corporations and may have been where the lawsuit was served. So, while this may not have been a made up address it is indicative of absolutely nothing in the way of reporting going on...at least for this article.

• Bob Norman has his own blog and 13 rabid followers.  Feel free to join them, as we won't miss you.

• Oh really? If you listened to the comments, the staff at NT just makes shit up as they go along.

• Look, I am sure you are perfectly nice, and that you mean well, but this column has gone utterly south since Bob Norman left. I used to read this daily, but no more. This isn't news, and definitely not hard hitting.

• Ms. Bekiempis, I'm sure you thought my critique of your article was unkind, but your story really wasn't news. There are news angles to your story, but you failed to do any research or touch on them. 1. Is two S&F lawsuits unusual for RaceTrac or any retail chain of comparable size? 2. Is RaceTrac doing something that is negligent and endangering customers? 3. How about interviewing a lawyer that practices in the area or an insurance company spokesman for some background? 4. How will the law passed in 2009 effect these suits if at all? Are they being filed in federal court or has the number of them dropped? 5. RaceTrac is not a "petroleum behemoth" if anything it is a large convenience store chain. 6. The over use of adjectives added little to the story. Many readers like myself were used to some top-notch reporting and interesting articles in this space. This really doesn't fill that bill and we're frustrated because we've seemingly lost a great resources.

• Hi there, Thanks for the feedback.  It wasn't that someone falling is news -- it's that for the second time in a matter of months, yet another person has chosen to sue the same deep-pocketed, out-of-state corporation for a slip and fall. Having looked at the civil filings pretty much every day for the last four months, I found it interesting that RaceTrac happened to be involved in one of these lawsuits again, whereas other big, non-Florida conglomerates didn't seem to get Broward County civil suits filed against them by locals as frequently (with the exception of run-of-the-mill life insurance suits.) What this means, I don't know yet, but I would have felt irresponsible ignoring this. 

• That was the address listed in the filing. I write things as they're written in the filings. 

• Since Bob Norman left this blog has gone south.  There is corruption all over the place and this slip and fall is news?  Pathetic.

• Why is this news?  "Gut-busting", "hit", "slammed"? It's a slip & fall lawsuit...my guess is any retail chain with more than a couple of locations has been sued for similar happenings. Remember, dog bites man is not news. But, if this is the way The Pulp is headed...let me give you a writing sample... The Sun, the Milky Way-based gas heating and lighting behemoth known for its sizzling hot surface, slammed South Florida with smoking hot intensity this morning when it rose out of nowhere to the east forcing local thermometers to skyrocket to over a white-hot 90 degrees! I long for the return of real journalism.

• Can anyone tell me why someone falling is news? 

• Part of Bob Norman's Pulp was getting into the ins and outs of the cesspool that is Broward politics. This new group of writers has turned this column into the "National Enquirer" meets "Americas Funniest Home Videos". Can we please get this column away from the Mindless Tripe these incompetent "journalists" have foisted upon us and get back to news? Please?

• Don't find a '1200 S. Pine Island Rd.' in Hollywood, nor any RaceTrac at that address in South Florida.  Wanna try again?
