You can always sue, but you probably won't win. Why was the floor wet? If it was b/c of the weather, SEPTA/Amtrak can't keep their floors dry in those conditions and they don't have a duty to keep them dry. Did you see the wet? If not, you may be held liable for your fall. Did SEPTA/Amtrak know that their floor was wet and fail to clean it up?

There are lots of issues. Please feel free to call and discuss.

The above answer is right on point. The next question would be what was the liquid substance?

Here are the issues: First--how long ago was it? When suing the state or government, there are some time limitations. Second, in any slip and fall, the key is 1) what did you fall/slip on?; and 2) how long had it been there? These are questions that will affect your recovery. The most important thing for you to be doing at this point is to treat with the doctor. Feel free to call my office to discuss your options and recovery. 267.639.3105.
