Although you might not expect to suffer an incident while you are shopping at a Family Dollar store, the reality is that incidents can occur at any time. You and your family could suffer a number of incidents due to the different hazardous conditions on the premises.

- Trip and fall accidents at Family Dollar – these incidents are associated with different trip hazards throughout the premises, which can include blocked walkways (typically with boxes or products), potholes, broken concrete, exposed wires, misplaced weather mats, uneven flooring, and steep steps, for instance.
- Falling object incidents – these incidents are associated with hazards on ceilings, walls, and shelves, for instance (in general, in elevated areas), and can consist of improper or poor installation of shelving and lead to store shelf collapse incidents, poorly installed/broken ceiling fans or light fixtures.
- Sexual assault incidents – these incidents are normally associated with the malicious and intentional actions of attackers; however, certain hazardous conditions on a store premises can contribute to these incidents.

Understanding Premise Liability
Who is liable for the injuries that you or a member of your family suffered in a Family Dollar incident? Based on the concept of premise liability, property owners – which includes the owners of Family Dollar stores – could be liable for the harm that occurs on their premises. This is because all property owners owe their guests a duty of care (a duty to inspect the premises and to address any hazards or dangerous conditions). When property owners breach their duty of care towards their guests, incidents can occur which could result in harm. Whenever a guest is harmed as a direct result of a breached duty of care (or the negligence of a property owner), the property owner could be liable.
If a property owner is liable for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered, you might have grounds to sue – that is, you could pursue a premise liability claim against Family Dollar stores. If you are interested in learning more about the legal options available to you after being affected by a premise liability incident, do not hesitate to contact our firm at your earliest convenience to speak with our experts.
