Yes, and he should. He's probably unable to work, has medical expenses also, and (depending on the "fluid") some emotional damages. I certainly would.
I'm usually not pro-plantiff, and I think injury lawyers often do us all a great disservice, but in this instance I think some damages are due.
In our area of the country (upstate ny) the award would be $30-50,000 for a broken arm, $60-90,000 for a broken leg. Call a lawyer.

He has grounds, but that does not necessarily mean he will win.
Merely hurting yourself on someone else's property does not mean it is the owners fault. There must be some reasonable degree of negligence on the part of the store owner. (ie. the owner was aware of the "mess" and didn't clean it up or encouraged its patrons to make and leave the "mess".)

Yes, he does. It is the responsibility of the ownership of the bookstore to clean up "questionable fluids" just as it would be in any other establishment.

Hahahaha,,,,No, he don't. But he got one hell of a story to tell to his grandchildren,,,,& some souvenir as well. I just hope he had an empty bottle with him to collect the "questionable fluid" as evidence in case he do decide to sue,,,,
