Assuming you did not sign a release, yes.

It depends on whether or not you signed a release when accepting the gift card. Alabama law construes releases very strictly and most releases are drafted such that the victim foregoes any and all future claims, known or unknown.

Also, even if you did not sign a release, slip & fall cases (Premise liability cases) are very difficult under Alabama law. Our office has a free brochure on this subject that you might find helpful. Please call 433-7766 and ask Jill to send you a copy. Also, we'll be happy to have one of our attorneys discuss this matter further. No charge for consultations. You can also order the slip and fall material through our web site. www.botelerwolfe.com

Hope this is helpful and I hope your injuries were not too serious.
