Everyone has to go to a grocery store or a supermarket at some time or another to participate in shopping for the family. It’s not always easy to find the cash these days to buy nutritional food. It’s even worse if you happen to accidentally slip and fall while buying food for the week.
If you have slipped and fallen in a store while shopping and you were injured but you know the accident wasn’t your fault, you should contact a personal injury attorney as soon as you can. A personal injury attorney can assess your eligibility to file a claim for compensation.
Despite the fact the two stores are operated under two different names, they are both actually owned by Albertsons, which is a well-known business in the grocery store trade based in Boise, Idaho. The whole chain combined has the most stores in New England.
How a Slip and Fall Injury Can Happen Anywhere
Many grocery stores do not always have enough staff available to ensure their stores are kept safe for customers to use. Only too often, slip-and-fall accidents and serious injuries take place. These might happen for a number of reasons, including failure to clear up spills from fallen bottles and jars and failure to repair holes in carpeting or flooring.
Even after mopping up spilled liquid or leaks, a notice should be erected warning customers of a slip-and-fall hazard because the floor is still wet and possibly slippery.
When winter weather arrives, accumulated snow, ice or rainwater should be cleared away as promptly as possible from supermarket and store entrances. Failure to do this means the store hasn’t made the place safe for shoppers and is good grounds for anyone involved in a slip and fall accident to file a personal injury claim to cover for any financial hardship caused by the accident.
How an Attorney Can Help You With a Personal Injury Claim
If you have been the victim of a slip-and-fall accident in a Star Market or any other store or supermarket and you were seriously injured, you should see an attorney as soon as possible. If the accident was not your fault, a personal injury attorney will assess your situation and determine if you are likely to win compensation to cover the financial hardship caused by the accident.
