When you visit your local pharmacy, such as a CVS, Walgreens, or Rite Aid, you expect to find all the items that will help keep you healthy, treat injuries and illnesses, and maintain your well-being. The last thing on your mind is leaving one of these stores with an injury because the staff failed to maintain the space safely and in accordance with their legal obligation under duty of care. However, suffering a slip and fall, injury due to a falling object, or other personal injury is very possible.
Many consumers are shocked that these chains have nearly 20,000 locations between them, blanketing the United States. CVS leads the pack with almost 10,000, Walgreens is a close second with over 8,000, and Rite Aid wraps the top three list with more than 1,700 U.S. stores. CVS alone has almost 1.200 locations just in California, dominating the market. Most cities have at least one CVS location, while these larger ones have many:
- Anaheim – 10
- Bakersfield – 12
- Burbank – 7
- Clovis – 7
- El Cajon – 7
- Fresno – 16
- Huntington Beach – 10
- Irvine – 10
- Long Beach – 11
- Los Angeles – 53
- Modesto – 8
- North Hollywood – 7
- Oceanside – 7
- Pasadena – 8
- Riverside – 9
- Sacramento – 16
- San Diego – 40
- San Francisco – 13
- San Jose – 25
- Santa Ana – 7
- Santa Barbara – 7
- Temecula – 7
- Ventura – 7
Sadly, dealing with personal injuries is not uncommon for the store management and corporate leadership of these large chains. And in many cases, their actions are in no way swift or made with any consideration for injured customers. Many victims of a CVS personal injury or Walgreens injury accident contact Normandie Law Firm to ask how long it takes to settle a personal injury case against these stores. They have reached out to the corporate contacts provided and have not gotten any response as they ask for information and assistance on paying for the injuries suffered in these often busy and poorly maintained locations.

What Causes So Many Injuries At CVS, Walgreens, And Rite Aid?
Unfortunately, many pharmacies like Walgreens, Rite Aid, and CVS are cramped and have aisle after aisle of overloaded shelves and displays. In addition, many staff members choose to overlook or ignore their cleaning and maintenance duties, which would prevent many of the personal injury incidents occurring in these stores, including:
- Slip and fall incidents due to damp floors that were recently mopped but had no warning signs, spilled water or other liquids not properly cleaned up, leaking merchandise containers, or saturated floor mats at the store entrance
- Trip and fall injuries are often caused when items fall from shelves but are not picked up, electrical cords or hoses are left in walking spaces, litter overflows onto the floor from overly full trashcans, or boxes of merchandise are left in aisles instead of being properly places on shelves or displays
- Items falling from displays, shelves, the walls, or that were mounted on the ceiling are another common safety concern that can cause significant harm, especially to children who could suffer impact on their heads
- Overcrowded parking lots with poor traffic signage, parking lot markings, and visibility issues are often to blame for hazardous car versus pedestrian accidents
- Burned-out light bulbs or faulty lighting fixtures can be to blame for overly dark areas that are ideal for attackers to assault, rob, or sexually violate victims and remain unseen by staff, other patrons, or security cameras
If you or a loved one suffered any injuries at CVS, Rite Aid, or Walgreens recently, don’t hesitate to contact Normandie Law Firm today. Our staff is here 24/7 to assist you in resolving your case as swiftly as possible while ensuring that you are fairly and fully compensated for your losses and harm.
Understanding The Time Involved In A Rite Aid, CVS, Or Walgreens Injury Case
There are two vital timing factors that victims of a personal injury must understand. First, in California, personal injury victims are given two years from the date of the injury to file a claim with the court. If the case is not filed within that time limit, the victim typically loses the right to seek compensation for their losses and expenses. In addition, very few exceptions allow more time to file a lawsuit, so please get in touch with Normandie Law Firm to ensure you understand how much time remains for you to take legal action.
The second factor most victims want to discuss is how long it takes to settle an injury lawsuit. This is more difficult to define because each lawsuit is different, and the time needed to complete it can and will vary. From the severity of your injuries to the actions of the staff at the pharmacy where you were injured, many factors will influence the time needed to complete your case. Even the skill and dedication of the legal team you hire can impact the time to resolve your lawsuit.
Normandie Law Firm’s staff understands your stress and challenges after sustaining an injury. And we are dedicated to helping you get the full compensation you deserve as rapidly as possible. Even if you have contacted the corporate office of CVS, Walgreens, or Rite Aid and gotten no response, please know that they will not ignore correspondence coming from the Normandie Law Firm. In addition, we will not allow them to waste the two years you are given to file your lawsuit. If the company does not try to help resolve your issues caused by injuries in their store, our firm will file your personal injury lawsuit to ensure justice is served.
How Much Is A Rite Aid, CVS, Or Walgreens Injury Lawsuit Worth?
Many personal injury victims are confused about the value of their potential lawsuit. They think there are specified amounts awarded for certain injuries or harm. However, that is not the case. Instead, each case is carefully evaluated to determine the compensation amount sought based on the actual losses and expenses incurred by the victim. You will work closely with your Normandie Law Firm personal injury lawyer to compile all allowable expenses, which typically include but are not limited to:
- All current and projected future medical expenses related to the accident injuries you sustained
- The legal cost to prepare, file, and litigate your injury lawsuit against the pharmacy where you suffered the injuries
- The replacement value of any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the injury incident at the pharmacy
- Your lost income if the injuries you suffered prevent you from working at your regular job until you are fully recovered, and for any income that is lost due to the time you spend at medical appointments or in treatment for your injuries
In cases that involve severe injuries or harm that will require lengthy recovery time, the victim can seek added funds for pain and suffering. Because this is not a documented amount like the other expenses incurred, your legal team at Normandie Law Firm will help you determine a fair amount to seek based on recently settled cases with similar injuries or recovery time.
No Upfront Legal Expenses Or Added Financial Hardships
When you hire Normandie Law Firm to handle your injury lawsuit against CVS, Walgreens, or Rite Aid, you never need to worry about paying upfront legal costs to pursue legal action and secure the compensation owed to you. Our firm only gets paid after the case is completed, and you have the compensation needed to cover your legal costs. This simple and client-friendly payment policy ensures that all personal injury victims can afford the legal services they need and deserve to seek justice.
Finally, you owe Normandie Law Firm nothing for our time and investment in your case if we fail to win your personal injury case against CVS, Walgreens, or Rite Aid. Please make time today to contact our staff to learn more about the factors influencing how long it will take to complete your injury case and its possible value. Also, you are never under any obligation to hire Normandie Law Firm or take legal action against the pharmacy where you were injured. Our only goal is to ensure you understand your rights and how to hold them accountable for the harm you suffered if that option best meets your immediate and long-term needs.
