Five Below Store Accident Injury Lawyer

Most people love a good bargain, and Five Below is one of the many stores where you can find countless things at discount prices. From toys to pool accessories to clothing, the business operates on the principle of selling items for $5.00 or less. There is, however, a limited selection of specialty items at higher prices, but these are no more than $25, so many people feel that they are still getting a good deal.

However, scoring a lower price on an item doesn’t make up for negligence that results in an accident. Incidents that can cause injuries to shoppers at a Five Below store include:

• Slip and fall incidents
• Trip and falls
• Broken chair or seat accidents
• Dressing room injuries (slip and fall, bench collapse, etc.)
• Assault and battery
• Sexual assault
• Injured by ceiling collapse and other structures
• Parking lot accidents
• Hurt by falling objects throughout the store (merchandise, signs, displays, etc.)

So, what are your rights if you fell down or hurt yourself in some other way because of a dangerous condition at the store? What if you were assaulted by a Five Below employee or by a trespasser on the property? This article will offer information on how to sue Five Below or any other store for an accident. However, it should not be used as a substitute for legal advice from a Five Below store slip and fall accident attorney or an expert in any other incident that left you with injuries. For a detailed discussion of your rights and the legal options that are available to you, contact us today.

Your Right to Sue for being Injured at Five Below

Accidents are a normal part of life, but the key is to prevent these incidents as much as possible. That’s why we exercise caution in everything we do, from driving a car to going up and down the stairs. Unfortunately, there is not much we can do about someone else’s conduct or how they take care of their property.

For example, customers at Five Below can fall down from tripping or slipping on something that shouldn’t be on the floor. They can also hurt themselves if they sit in a chair that collapses or breaks due to a design flaw or lack of safety warnings. Another cause of injury at a Five Below store is lack of security or inadequate security measures for the type and location of the property. Security failure is a major contributing factor in assault and battery incidents at major retailers, particularly in dressing rooms, bathrooms, and parking lots.

Under California law, businesses have a duty to maintain and secure the areas that they own and operate (premises liability). Failure to keep up with reasonable standards that can keep people safe is grounds for a lawsuit, which is the basis of a Five Below accident injury claim. The key is to speak with a Five Below store accident attorney right away, who can locate evidence, file the necessary paperwork, and recover the highest settlement for you and your loved ones.

Average Value of an Accident Claim against Five Below

The value of a personal injury lawsuit can start at around $10,000 for relatively minor injuries. If the harm sustained by the victim is likely to cause long-term or permanent complications, the amount of compensation is likely to fall within the range of $250,000 to $2,000,000. Please note that it’s impossible to determine how much you can receive from a lawsuit until we know many details that are specific to your accident at Five Below. We recommend a free consultation with a store accident injury lawyer, which you can schedule by contacting our office.

How Much Time Do I have to File a Lawsuit?

Generally, victims of accidents that are caused by another party’s negligence have 2 years if they wish to file a lawsuit. Except in rare circumstances, the 2-year window begins on the date of the accident itself, so each passing day will bring you one step closer to the deadline for a Five Below store accident claim. It’s very difficult to make a solid case for an extension if you are past the deadline to sue a business for dangerous conditions on the property or reckless conduct by one of their employees. With that in mind, call us right away and get started on an injury claim with one of our legal experts.

How Long Does it Take to Get Paid from these Cases?

Receiving payment from a store accident liability claim can take between 6 and 12 months on average. Those with minor injuries may reach a settlement sooner – perhaps within a matter of weeks. However, it’s more than likely that your claim will take at least a few months to resolve, and perhaps as long as 2 years if you have serious to severe injuries. If negotiation attempts with Five Below continue to be unsuccessful, we may have to escalate things to the next level and ask for a trial date. But even if a case is scheduled for trial, there’s a very good chance that it will be settled, probably with guidance from a certified mediator.
