FLORIDA PERSONAL INJURY BLOG: Snake Bite At Florida Wal-Mart May Lead To Lawsuit

Jeriel Joiner reached under some shelving to get the baby’s bottle when he felt something bite him. Turns out Joiner was struck by a seven-inch pygmy rattlesnake.

Joiner said that Wal-Mart officials and employees in the store on the day he was bite have done nothing to help him.

With medical bills mounting for the uninsured Joiner, the couple have hired a personal injury attorney and plan to sue the retailer.
