Many people hate the idea of paying full price for things like clothes and shoes, and frankly, there is no reason to do so when you have stores like Burlington Coat Factory, now known as Burlington. Originally, the company specialized in jackets and coats that they bought wholesale from factories. However, the founders realized the need to expand their inventory if they wanted the business to grow. Today’s Burlington is more like a department store, with all types of clothing and shoes, including baby items.
While there is more to shop for at a Burlington store, the premise of discounted merchandise remains the same, which is why they are a popular option for those in search of a bargain. Of course, there are downsides to shopping at off-price retailers, like stores that are cluttered and disorganized. You may also have staff members who are not as invested in their job duties as they should be. The result is a failure to maintain safe condition on the premises, which can cause people to be injured from an accident.
If you sustained injuries while shopping at a Burlington store, please reach out to us and speak to a Burlington Coat Factory injury lawyer. As an accident victim, it’s essential to learn about your rights and legal options, which we can go over with you during a free case review.

Possible Accidents at a Discount Clothing Store
Stores that sell reduced price items are a great place to save money, but there is no denying that many of these places are messy and cluttered. Sometimes, the aisles are very narrow, or there is just enough room to squeeze by in between the racks and sales displays. It doesn’t help that so many customers are on the property at the same time, while there are less than enough workers to keep the place clean and organized. These are the main causes of accidents at Burlington Coat Factory, which include:
- Trip and fall accidents due to merchandise left on the floor, along with debris and trash from customers
- Water and other substances on the floor that cause people to slip and fall
- People hurt by falling objects from shelves, walls, and ceilings
- Damage to critical structures in the building (roof, ceiling, floor, etc.)
- Worn areas on rugs and carpets
- Failing to use Wet Floor signs when there is a spill or after mopping the floor
- Improperly designed, broken, or missing handrails
- Step stools, ladders, boxes, pallets, and other objects that were not put away by workers
- Cords and wires left out in high traffic areas
Suing the Store if You are Injured
An owner of a residential or commercial property has a legal duty to provide their guests with a safe environment. At places like stores, the duty of care extends to the workers, who must follow safety rules and act in a professional manner towards customers and other visitors on the premises.
We are not saying that store owners and those who work for them can anticipate every single accident that occurs on the property. Instead, the idea is to keep the store in a reasonably safe condition at all times, like making sure the floor is free of things that can cause people to fall. If there is a hazardous situation that can’t be resolved immediately, warning signs and safety barriers can be used in the meantime. Dangerous conditions may exist outside the store as well, particularly security issues, like broken surveillance cameras or insufficient lighting in the parking lot.
In essence, there are many things that a business owner needs to do when it comes to a duty of care to others. If there is a failure to exercise reasonable care which leads to an accident, the business owner is liable for any damages to the victim, like lost wages, medical expenses, and pain and suffering.
