Common Causes and Injuries Associated with Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents are among the most common types of accidents that unsuspecting people could suffer at supermarkets. Slip and fall accidents can happen at any time that there is a slip hazard on the floor. Some examples of the hazards that could contribute to slip and fall accidents include some of the following: garbage littering the floors, leaking refrigerators/air-conditioners, spilled products, recently waxed floors, and wet floors. All of these hazards could cause innocent shoppers to slip and fall – and potentially suffer a variety of injuries. Some of the most common types of slip and fall injuries include the following: sprains and strains; bruises; lacerations; scrapes; leg injuries; ankle injuries; knee injuries; shoulder injuries; hip injuries; pelvic injuries; spinal cord injuries; neck/back injuries; head injuries; traumatic brain injuries. By far, some of the most common injuries include hand and wrist injuries – as most people try to break their falls with their hands.
Premise Liability and Your Right to Sue
What are the options available to you after experiencing a slip and fall accident? Depending on the details surrounding your claim, you might have grounds to file a slip and fall claim for the harm that you suffered. Your right to sue will likely be based on premise liability. What is premise liability? Based on premise liability, property owners (including store owners) owe their consumers a duty of care. Specifically, they have a duty to ensure that their entire premises are free of any hazards that could potentially harm their visitors. When property owners fail to ensure the safety of their products, they are breaching their duty of care – they are also putting their visitors at risk of suffering harm. When a breached duty of care directly causes an accident that results in harm, the property owner could be liable. This is because the property owner negligently failed to identify and address the hazards present in their premises. In other words, if the property owner would have exercised the duty of care that was owed, the incident and the harm would have never occurred.
If you would like to learn more about premise liability and your right to file a slip and fall injury claim after your accident at Food4Less, do not hesitate to contact the experts at our law firm at Normandie Law Firm at your earliest convenience. Our attorneys are ready to provide you with the guidance that you need to pursue your slip and fall accident claim.

What is the Average Value for Slip and Fall Claims?
What is the average settlement for a slip and fall accident at a Food4Less store?

The factors that could affect the value of a claim include but are not limited to the following:
- The injuries suffered

File Your Slip and Fall Claim On Time
If you are interested in filing a slip and fall injury accident lawsuit, it is essential that you are aware of the deadlines that apply to your claim. All claims, including slip and fall claims, are subject to a statute of limitations. A statute of limitations determines the specific length of time that claimants have to file their claims. Failure to file within the time allowed by the applicable statute of limitations will result in losing the right to sue.
What deadline applies to your slip and fall claim? In California, slip and fall claims, like all other personal injury accidents, are subject to a two-year statute of limitations. What does this mean? Because a statute of limitations represents the time that claimants have to sue, a two-year statute of limitations means that claimants only have two years to pursue their claims. If you do not file your slip and fall claim within the time allowed by the statute of limitations, you could lose your right to sue.
However, it is important for claimants to be aware of potential exceptions that could apply to the statute of limitations. If any exceptions apply, the statute of limitations could be paused or tolled for some time – essentially allowing a longer time to sue. Possible exceptions are always based on the details surrounding the incident and the claim. For more information about the exact length of time that you have to file your claim, do not hesitate to contact the experts at our firm at your earliest convenience.
