Slip And Fall At A Marijuana Dispensary

With nearly 4,000 marijuana dispensaries in the state doing over $5 billion in sales each year, marijuana sales are a big business and serve a massive number of customers each day. So, it is easy to understand how this new industry is seeing increasing injury incidents reported at these locations. However, it is also vital to understand that while a certain number of slip and fall injuries are to be expected in all places, the large number of slip and fall at a marijuana dispensary incidents being reported is an issue. Sadly, it is one that could be reduced significantly if the store staff were more focused and dedicated to meeting their legal obligation to provide a safe setting for patrons of their business. However, the issues continue as staff fail to address simple hazards like drinks spilled on the floor or saturated floor mats at the entrance of the store.

How Many Slip And Fall Hazards Could There Be At A Marijuana Dispensary?
As you picture the interior of your favorite marijuana dispensary, you might have a hard time imagining too many slip and fall hazards. However, you need to think about the setting from the moment you get out of your vehicle, including all the possible slip and fall hazards you might encounter, which can consist of:

• Wet litter and debris in the parking lot or on sidewalks
• Folded, damaged, or saturated floor mats at the store entrance
• Wet floors that were recently mopped but have no warning signs to alert customers of the slippery conditions
• Food or drink spills that were not swiftly cleaned up
• Clogged drains backing up onto the floor
• Plumbing fixtures that are damaged or malfunctioning and creating wet floors
• Damaged or missing hand safety rails at steps or entrances
• Paper or other litter on the floor inside the store

While these are all common issues that might be encountered at any retail establishment, the crucial factor is that the store staff recognize these hazards and correct them in a prompt manner. When ignored, the result is often a severe injury to a customer who had the right to expect the store to be properly maintained and safe. If you suffer a slip and fall at a marijuana dispensary, please seek a complete medical evaluation of any injuries to ensure you get the medical care needed to make a fast and complete recovery. Then, contact Normandie Law Firm to determine if you have reason to pursue a slip and fall at a marijuana dispensary lawsuit and seek compensation for your losses and expenses.

Common Injuries Resulting From A Slip And Fall At A Marijuana Dispensary
You would hope that any injury suffered at a marijuana dispensary would be minor, such as a scratch or bruise. However, that is not always the case, because of the small space of many stores, the sharp edges and corners on display cases, and the shelving units used to display merchandise. Victims of a slip and fall at a marijuana dispensary could suffer one or more of these often serious injuries:

• Fractured, broken, or shattered bones
• Severe laceration or puncture wounds that can involve injuries to internal organs and internal bleeding
• Damage to the soft connective tissue of joints or a complete joint dislocation
• Harm to the neck, back, or spinal cord
• Soft tissue and nerve damage
• Head injuries that range from severe concussions and skull fractures to much more life-altering traumatic brain injuries
• Damage to the delicate skin on the face or the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth

When Is The Marijuana Dispensary Liable For Your Slip And Fall Injuries?
To answer what appears to be a simple question, you must understand a bit about premises liability law. This section of the legal system was created to ensure the safety of guests at all public and private properties. The property owner and their staff must meet specific requirements for maintenance, care, and inspections of the space to prevent or eliminate safety issues from posing a threat to guests.

Duty of care is part of premises liability law that defines the required actions of the staff when a safety issue is reported by a customer or discovered by a staff member. It requires the staff to provide at least the same level of attention and care as would be delivered by the average prudent person facing a similar issue. For example, if you saw water spilled on the floor in your home, you would immediately mop it up to prevent a slip and fall injury. That is what is required of the staff at a marijuana dispensary when they see a safety hazard.

If the staff fail to act swiftly and appropriately to address any issue, they can be deemed negligent in their duty of care. Furthermore, if that staff negligence is later determined to have caused or contributed to a guest suffering a slip and fall at a marijuana dispensary, the property or business owner can be liable for the losses and expenses incurred by the victim due to their injuries. If you feel that staff negligence was a factor in your slip and fall at a marijuana dispensary, please reach out to Normandie Law Form today to discuss the case and possible personal injury lawsuit with a skilled legal professional.

How Much Is The Average Slip And Fall At A Marijuana Dispensary Lawsuit Worth?
It is critical for all personal injury victims to understand how lawsuit compensation amounts are determined. There are no predetermined values for certain injuries or accidents. Instead, the compensation awarded is based on the losses and expenses incurred by the victim due to their injuries. Working closely with your personal injury legal team at Normandie Law Firm, you will gather all documentation for your allowable expenses to complete this process. The items typically used include but are not strictly limited to:

• All current and estimated future medical costs related to the care and rehabilitation of the slip and fall injuries suffered at a marijuana dispensary
• The replacement cost of any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the slip and fall at a marijuana dispensary injury incident
• The cost of all legal services to prepare, file, and litigate your slip and fall at a marijuana dispensary lawsuit
• Any lost wages if the injuries suffered at the marijuana dispensary prevent you from working at your regular job until fully healed or you miss work to attend essential medical care for those injuries

How Long Do I Have To Sue The Marijuana Dispensary?
Victims of personal injuries have two years from the date of the injury incident to file a claim with the court. If the case is not filed in that time, the victim typically loses the right to seek compensation for the losses and expenses created by that incident. It is also vital to note that there are minimal exceptions to this time limit that would provide additional time for the victim to file a claim. Please reach out to Normandie Law Firm today to discuss your claim and the time left to file a lawsuit with the court.
