When they missed the spill on aisle 6
When going to the supermarket, shoppers are unaware of the hazards that can be lurking around the corner. Typically, we assume that store personnel will keep the aisles free of hazards and clean up any spills that can cause a slip and fall. At a minimum, we expect there to be a warning cone or sign in place to notify us of the danger. Unfortunately, more of ten than not that is not the case. Delgado Trial Attorneys have spent almost half a century fighting for the rights of the injured in every type of accident imaginable, but especially accident victims injured in slip and fall accidents. If you were injured because of a negligent grocery store in South Florida, you need an experienced Miami Supermarket slip and fall lawyer to guide you through the process. Call our family of attorneys today for a free consultation to learn if you are entitled to compensation.
Just because an accident occurs does not mean it is due to negligence. However, more often than not, most accidents that occur at a business location during normal operating hours are preventable to a degree.
No doubt, this is especially true for slip and fall type accidents in supermarkets because of the number of employees on duty at a given time. In fact, some of the most common types of slip and fall accidents occur at supermarkets.
Older shoppers are particularly vulnerable to serious falls. Suffering a fractured hip can permanently disable a person who slipped on a wet floor in the produce section at a supermarket.
If you have suffered a slip and fall or any other type of injury while shopping at a Miami supermarket, it is important you act quickly to protect your legal rights.
Some of the most common causes of injuries at supermarkets include:
As soon as the incident occurs, it is important that you report it to store management. Be sure to document what occurred.
For example, this can include taking pictures documenting the conditions and taking pictures of your injuries. Also, get the names and contact information of any witnesses. Many supermarkets regularly maintain video surveillance over areas of the store, both inside and outside. This security footage is also valuable to obtain.
Below, see for yourself some common types of injuries shoppers sustain in supermarket accidents. These include:
Accidents that cause these types of injuries can be very expensive. The expenses incurred are the basis for the compensation you can recover which legally is termed an accident victims “damages”. For example, these may include the following:
If the victim has been severely injured and is permanently or temporarily disabled as a result, it may be tricky to predict future expenses and damages. A skilled personal injury attorney can help the injured victim sort through and calculate these damages properly.
Florida supermarkets like Publix, Aldi, Albertson’s, Winn-Dixie, and Walmart have a duty to maintain their buildings and keep the premises safe for its customers and employees. These stores have a legal obligation to keep an eye out for common hazards and take care of problems before someone gets injured.
If a person has been injured while shopping at a Florida supermarket, he or she must show that the store was negligent in providing the proper level of care for all people shopping or working at the store location. To be successful, the injured party must first show that the supermarket had a duty of care to ensure their stores are free from any hazards that are either known to the store and store employees or should have been reasonably known.
If hazards are discovered, this duty includes fixing them as soon as reasonably possible. In addition, the supermarket must have failed to meet that standard of care through negligently failing to either remove the hazard or notify patrons of its existence. Lastly, the injury must have occurred as a direct result of the breach of duty of care. It is important to have a skilled personal injury attorney on your side to ensure you receive maximum compensation for your injuries.
