Yes, this is normal. You HAVE to hire a lawyer. That $2500 is the policy limit, for medical payments - a no-fault coverage.
If you want anything EXCEPT medical payments, or if you want more than the policy limit, you have to hire a lawyer and sue them in court, and prove that they are at fault for your accident. That means, they KNEW the water was there, and didn't do anything about it.
Just the fact that you fell on their property, does NOT make them automatically at fault. It's not like car insurance, where they rush to settle a claim. Grocery stores have a TON of slip and fall claims, and MOST of the time, they're not responsible - another customer broke a jar of something, or someone just got clumsy.

You are writing an epistle which is very hard to decipher. Your last sentence makes the most sense. Get a lawyer.
