The answer to your question is that it depends. The store has a duty to maintain its store in a reasonably safe condition and to warn you or remove any dangerous conditions. If the store allowed a dangerous condition to remain in its property and it failed to warn or take other steps to protect its customers then it can be found at fault. The next question is, was you wife also at fault. Was she doing anything unreasonable that contributed to her falling. If so then you must compare the fault of the store and your wife. As long as your wife is 50% or less at fault then she is entitled to recover. Her damages however will be reduced for her percentage of fault. Your wife should consult with an attorney who handle these type of cases. You want someone experienced in slip and fall cases and who has actually gone to trial ion this type of case. Usually these type of lawyers do not charge for the initial meeting. Therefore you have nothing to lose in meeting with the attorney. If the attorney thinks she/he can help you then they usually don't charge you anything unless or until they make a recovery.

If the driver had no insurance, and the owner likewise had no insurance, and if your PIP will cover $10,000 and your UIM will cover $100,000, then as concerns the parties involved in the accident, if your insurance covers $110,000, then the only way that you can expect to recover over and above your own insurance is to file suit against the other parties and hope that they are not candidates for bankruptcy. If the driver was not drunk, and/or under the influence of drugs, and did not deliberately cause the accident, any recovery you might get from her could be discharged in bankruptcy.
