I slipped and fell in a major grocery store in a flooded aisle without proper sign posted, and have long-term disability and pain as a result. The store manager and stock boys who witnessed the accident made false accusations to protect the store. However there were 2 surveilence cameras in each aisle which, I'm positive, captured the accident.
Is it not my right to request this recording and is the defendant not obligated to release this evidence if requested?

You will have to subpoena the tapes if they have not yet been erased.
You need to work through a personal injury lawyer. Trust a professional, they know what they are doing.

Nope. He can refuse, the tapes are still property of the store and they have no obligation to give them to you (it is possible they were "dud" cameras anyway, as stores up here typically employ alot of them to save money).
If you are on Disability as a result, and looking for compensation, contact a lawyer. He/She will be able to go through the courts for a copy of said tape. As far as you asking for one on your own, don't count on it.
