Wayne Scott has taken legal action against a prominent grocery chain, claiming negligence after suffering injuries from a slip and fall incident. On November 19, 2025, Wayne Scott filed a complaint in the Court of Common Pleas of Delaware County, Pennsylvania, against Acme Markets, Inc., alleging that the company failed to maintain safe premises. The lawsuit stems from an incident on February 22, 2024, where Scott claims he slipped on an unaddressed hazard at one of Acme’s locations.
According to the complaint filed by Scott’s attorney, David S. Bigelow of McCann, Dillon, Jaffe & Lamb, LLC, the plaintiff was visiting Acme Markets located at 643 Conchester Pike in Boothwyn when he encountered a dangerous condition on the floor that led to his fall. The lawsuit asserts that Acme Markets and unnamed entities referred to as ABC Corporations 1-10 were responsible for ensuring the safety of their premises but failed in their duty to inspect and clean areas frequented by customers. “Defendants knew or had reason to know existed and/or created,” states the complaint regarding the hazardous condition that allegedly caused Scott’s injuries.
Scott accuses Acme Markets and its affiliates of several acts of negligence including failing to maintain safe conditions on their property and neglecting to warn patrons about potential dangers. The complaint outlines various allegations such as not placing warning signs or barriers around known hazards and allowing unsafe conditions to persist despite being aware of them. As a result of these alleged oversights, Scott claims he sustained serious injuries affecting his spine and right upper extremity among other areas.
The plaintiff is seeking damages exceeding $50,000 for medical expenses incurred due to his injuries as well as compensation for pain and suffering. The complaint highlights that Scott has endured significant physical pain and limitations since the incident which have impacted his daily life and activities. Furthermore, it suggests that he may require ongoing medical treatment and therapy due to the severity of his injuries.
In this case against Acme Markets Inc., Wayne Scott demands a jury trial seeking judgment for compensatory damages along with interest and costs associated with the suit. His legal representation emphasizes that the negligence displayed by Acme Markets has caused lasting harm necessitating judicial intervention.
The case is presided over by judges from Delaware County’s Court of Common Pleas under Case ID: [not provided]. Representing Wayne Scott is attorney David S. Bigelow from McCann, Dillon, Jaffe & Lamb LLC based in Philadelphia.
