Most of us watch ambulances rush from place to place and never really expect to end up in one. Unfortunately if you are out shopping in a grocery store or a supermarket you may one day slip and fall on a hazard you didn’t expect to be there.
Statistically these accidents are quite common and when they do take place it’s often the store that’s to blame. This is because the manager doesn’t pay enough attention to ensuring the store is safe and free from obstacles that could cause a slip and fall accident.
If you have the misfortune to slip and fall on a slippery substance left on a grocery store floor or you trip over a carton and you know the accident is not your fault, you shouldn’t hesitate to contact a personal injury attorney who will assess your chances of filing a personal injury compensation claim.
This will cover you for the costs of medical treatment and any financial hardship from loss of income.
How a Slip and Fall Injury Can Happen at a Supermarket
Roche Brothers, like many retailers, may not necessarily employ enough staff to ensure its supermarkets are kept free of hazards. This means when a customer knocks a jar of mayonnaise accidentally off a shelf and another customer comes along unaware of the hazard and slips and falls causing serious head injuries there is no one to blame except the store manager and staff.
Apart from slippery surfaces caused by jars and bottles that have fallen off shelves there are other possible obstacles that could cause accidents. These include failing to repair ripped and torn carpets or vinyl floor coverings and not keeping areas fully lit making it difficult for customers to see ahead of them.
When slip and fall accidents happen in these sorts of circumstances and the victim is injured there are likely to be personal injury claims filed against the store staff.
How an Attorney Can Help You With a Personal Injury Claim
If you were out shopping one day in a Roche Brothers Store or any other retailer and you slipped and fell unexpectedly causing injury to yourself, you may be entitled to file a personal injury compensation claim. You will only know for sure if you contact an experienced personal injury attorney.
A slip and fall attorney will know what to do and will piece together all the required facts required to ensure a successful outcome to a claim. This will help to ease any financial hardship you may endure recovering from an injury that was not your fault.
