The Incidents and Injuries that Victims Could Suffer
Without a doubt, it is possible for those strolling through farmer’s market to suffer a number of incidents that could lead to injuries. For example, slip and fall accidents, food poisoning incidents, and assault and battery incidents are likely. Each of these incidents are associated with a number of hazardous conditions and injuries.
Slip and fall accidents, for instance, are associated with hazards on the floor throughout the premises. These hazards could include the following: wet floors, slippery floors, leaks, spills, missing/misplaced warning signs, and littered floors, for instance. If a person steps on a hazard, he or she could slip and fall. Slip and fall accidents are associated with a number of injuries, including head injuries, neck injuries, back injuries, spinal cord injuries, fractures, and joint injuries, among other injuries; slip and fall accidents have the potential to be fatal.
Food poisoning incidents are also associated with specific hazards. There are typically a number of food choices at farmer’s markets; in fact, many people visit farmers markets with the intention to eat rather than shop. Unfortunately, hazards like uncleanliness, cross-contamination, and undercooking items can put unsuspecting parties at risk of food poisoning. Food poisoning is associated with nausea, vomiting, stomachache, fever, diarrhea, and weakness, for instance; in severe cases, food poisoning can potentially be fatal.
Assault and battery incidents are always associated with the malicious intent of parties; however, specific hazards or dangerous conditions throughout a farmer’s market could contribute to the risk of these attacks. For instance, isolated areas, poorly lit areas, a lack of security guards, and a lack of surveillance cameras could all contribute to these incidents. Assault and battery incidents could lead to significant injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, fractures, internal injuries, and others.
Regardless of the incident that you or a member of your family suffered in a farmers’ market incident, you might have grounds to take legal action.
Who Is Liable?
Who is at fault for the incident that you or a member of your family suffered at a farmer’s market? Can I sue the farmers market for a farmers market injury? It is normal to have questions regarding your right to sue. Typically, liability for personal injury accidents on the premises of stores or markets is based on premise liability – which determines that property owners are liable for the harm that their guests suffer. However, the organizers of farmers markets do not own the property in which their markets take place; therefore, in instances of personal injury accidents, liability is not as straightforward.
Can you still file a lawsuit? Yes, you might be eligible to file a lawsuit; therefore, it is important for you to understand insurance information and requirements for farmers markets. Property owners (those who rent their property to farmers markets) usually require that farmers market organizations are insured; additionally, some farmers markets require that their vendors are insured. Because of these requirements, in case of an incident, victims could pursue claims against the farmer’s market vendor or the farmer’s market organizers.

Filing Your Claim on Time
If you or a member of your family experienced an incident at a farmer’s market, you might have grounds to sue. However, you could unfortunately lose your right to sue if you fail to pursue your claim quickly. This is because claims are subject to a statute of limitations – a statute of limitations determines the total length of time that claimants have to sue. If claimants do not file their claims quickly, they could lose their right to sue entirely.
How long do you have to file your claim? In California, personal injury claims are normally subject to a two-year statute of limitations. Therefore, claimants must file their claims within a two-year deadline. However, based on details surrounding your personal injury claim, exceptions could apply. These exceptions could toll the deadline that applies to your claim. To ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the statute of limitations that applies to your claim, contact our firm at your earliest convenience. Our lawyers will ensure that you file your claim on time.
