Couple Sues Walgreens Alleging Negligence After Woman Injured From Slipping on a Wet Trash Bag

A Harrison County couple is suing Walgreens Co. for a slip-and-fall accident at one its Gulfport stores.

The accident happened on March 30, 2022, outside the Walgreens north of Interstate 10 on U.S. 49.

Fairen Murrell says in the federal negligence lawsuit that she slipped on a trash bag that was “wet and mushy” from rain, causing injuries as she hit her truck’s seat, frame and step-up bar. “She was in such an incredible amount of pain in her head, neck, back, and knees that it was hard for her to even stand up,” the lawsuit says.

She went inside, spoke to a cashier and asked if they put out trash bags, the lawsuit says. “The Walgreens cashier affirmed that Walgreens employees did indeed put the trash bags in the parking lot, as they usually do.”
