Accidents may happen when you least expect them, even in places that you frequent regularly such as a supermarket or grocery store. These accidents may lead to serious injuries and may be financially hard to cope with. If the accident may be proven to be the fault of a property owner, manager, or one of the staff, then it may be possible to recover all of your costs by filing a personal injury claim with the help of an experienced attorney.
Slip and Fall Hazards at a Supermarket
Any supermarket may have a number of potential slip and fall hazards unless managers and employees are vigilant about safety standards. Slip and fall accidents in a supermarket may include:
- wet floors that have been recently cleaned but are still wet and slippery;
- floors that have liquids spilled onto them;
- floor material or covering that is torn or uneven;
- cartons or other containers that have been left in the aisles;
- foodstuffs or other consumer items that have inadvertently spilled onto the floor;
- dim or inadequate lighting in an area that the public usually uses;
- ice, snow or rainwater that has accumulated outside the supermarket entrance.
What to Do if You are Injured at a Supermarket
If you have suffered an injury at a Big Y, or any other large store or supermarket, and are confident that it was due to negligence on the part of the staff or management, you should ensure you get legal advice as soon as possible before contemplating filing a personal injury claim.
It helps to get advice from an experienced personal injury attorney who may help you make a claim if it seems like you have a good case against the company or any of its employees.
Plus, you won’t have to pay your PI attorney unless you win your case. File your claim without fear.
