Slip-and-Fall Accident Claims: Your Legal Options if You Fall in a Retail or Grocery Store

Yellow sign - caution

While running errands, the last thing on your mind is slipping, falling, and injuring yourself. Groceries and other retail stores have the responsibility to keep their stores operable and safe, which means an environment free of wet-surfaces or other fall risks. When they fail to do so, youtube the possibility of a serious injury.

What Are Your Legal Options for Filing a Slip-and-Fall Claim?

Premises liability law holds property owners accountable for injuries due to unsafe conditions on their property. Store owners must maintain safe environments, addressing hazards like wet floors and uneven surfaces. Even if they are unable to clean a wet floor immediately, they must block the area off with proper signage until they are able to. If they fail to do so, they may be liable for your damages. Proving a premises liability case involves demonstrating that the owner knew or should have known about the hazard and failed to rectify it. Critical evidence includes surveillance footage, witness statements, and maintenance records.

To prove negligence, you must show that a dangerous condition existed, the owner knew or should have known about it, and this negligence caused your injury. Collecting evidence like photos, witness testimonies, and medical records is essential. Successfully proving negligence can result in compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. A knowledgeable lawyer can help ensure all potential damages are evaluated and included in your claim.
