About the Incidents that Shoppers Could Suffer

Many incidents can occur on the premises of Dollar General stores. Some of the incidents that unsuspecting shoppers could experience include the following:

• Slip and fall accidents
• Trip and fall accidents
• Falling object incidents (including store shelf collapse incidents)
• Sexual assault incidents

Each of the incidents listed above is associated with specific hazards.

For instance, slip and fall accidents occur whenever a shopper unknowingly steps on a slip hazard. Examples of hazards that could contribute to slip and fall accidents include the following: wet floors, slippery surfaces, leaks, spills, littered floors, and no warning signs.

Trip and fall accidents, similarly, occur whenever a shopper unknowingly is exposed to trip hazards. Some examples of hazards that could contribute to trip and falls include the following: exposed wires, misplaced mats, uneven flooring, steep steps, broken concrete, potholes, and boxes/products blocking walkways.

Falling object incidents, in contrast to both trip and slip and fall incidents, are associated with elevated hazards. Some of the hazards that could contribute to falling object incidents include the following: poor installation of shelving, ceiling fans, or light fixtures; storing heavy products in flimsy shelves; storing heavy products on the highest shelves; incorrectly installing shelves, fans, or fixtures.

Sexual assault incidents, in contrast to the other types of incidents, are associated with the direct and malicious actions of attackers. However, certain hazards on the premises of a store could significantly increase the risk of these attacks. For instance, poorly lit areas, secluded areas, a lack of surveillance cameras, a lack of security guards, and other factors could make it more likely for sexual assault incidents to occur.

Regardless of the specific incident that you or a member of your family suffered on the premises of a Dollar General, it is likely that the incident resulted in significant injuries. Some of the injuries that victims could suffer include the following: head injuries, traumatic brain injuries, neck injuries, back injuries, spinal cord injuries, fractures, joint injuries, sprains/strains, lacerations, and scrapes/bruises, for instance. In some cases, the injuries suffered can be fatal. In cases in which the victim survives severe injuries, the victim could face long-lasting effects of the injuries, including paralysis and chronic pain, for instance.

Who Is Liable?

Who is liable for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered? Based on the concept of premise liability, Dollar General could be liable for the injury that you or a member of your family suffered in a store incident. Whether the incident was a slip and fall, trip and fall, falling object incident, or sexual assault incident, the store owner could be liable.

More specifically, the store owner could be liable because all property owners owe their guests a duty of care; that is, they must routinely inspect their entire premises to be able to identify and address the hazards or dangerous conditions present before any incident occurs. When property owners fail to keep their premises safe, they are breaching the duty of care owed to their guests; they are also putting their guests at risk of suffering harm. When a guest is injured as a direct result of a breached duty of care, the property owner could be liable. That is, the property owner could be sued by affected victims.

If you are interested in learning more about establishing liability in your Dollar General incident, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm at your earliest convenience.

Your injury claim is subject to a deadline; therefore, you must file your claim on time. The deadline is established by a statute of limitations. If you fail to file your claim within the time allowed by the statute of limitations, you could lose your right to sue. What deadline applies to your claim? In California, premise liability claims are subject to a two-year statute of limitations. Therefore, claimants only have two years to pursue their claims.
