Possible Incidents on the Premises of Foodmaxx
There are many different incidents that could occur on the premises of Foodmaxx. Some of these incidents are listed below:
- Slip and fall accidents
- Trip and fall accidents
- Falling object incidents
- Sexual assault incidents
- Assault and battery incidents
- False arrest and false imprisonment
All of these incidents are associated with different hazards, all of which could definitely be identified and addressed by store owners, managers, and employees before an accident occurs. Consider the different causes of the incidents listed above.
Slip and fall accidents – these are, by far, the most common types of personal injury accidents. These accidents can happen at any time that there is a slip hazard. Some of the most common slip hazards include wet floors, slippery surfaces, recently mopped or waxed floors, missing or misplaced warning signs, leaks, spills, etc. In busy stores, keeping up with any hazards on the floor can quickly become lowest priority, which can prove to be very dangerous for guests.
Trip and fall accidents – these accidents are also very common. They can happen any time that there is a trip hazard on the floor. Examples of trip hazards include the following: broken tiles, torn carpeting, exposed wires, blocked walkways, potholes, etc. All of these hazards can cause an unsuspecting guest to trip and fall, resulting in injuries.
Falling object incidents – these accidents are associated with any hazards on elevated surfaces, like ceilings, walls, or shelves, for example. Any ceiling fans, light fixtures, posters, displays, etc. that are improperly placed or not secured well can detach and fall, striking anyone nearby. Likewise, any shelves that are overloaded can collapse or tip over causing serious injuries.
Sexual assault incidents – unfortunately, sexual assault can happen practically anywhere, including stores. The attacker can be another guest on the property, an employee, even a security guard. The risk of sexual assault can be increased by certain hazards on the property, including a lack of surveillance, a lack of security, poorly trained staff, etc.
Assault and battery incidents – assault and battery can happen anywhere. Certain hazards, like a lack of security, a lack of surveillance, untrained staff, poorly lit areas, isolated areas, etc., can all increase the risk of assault and battery at stores. Unfortunately, other shoppers can be the attackers. Employees and security guards can also be the attackers.
False arrest and false imprisonment – false imprisonment and false arrest consists of being held against your will. In many cases, false imprisonment/arrests occurs at the hands of employees or security guards typically after wrongly accusing someone of stealing. In many cases, the false accusations that lead to the false arrest/imprisonment are directly associated with racial profiling, which is a violation of civil rights.

Your Right to Compensation
If you suffered a Foodmaxx slip and fall accident, a Foodmaxx slip and fall lawyer can help you fight for your rights and recover the payout that you are owed. Regardless of the specific accident and injuries that you suffered, you could be entitled to monetary compensation. Some of the common categories of compensation include the following:
- Medical expenses
- Lost earnings
- Pain and suffering

Of course, the specific type of compensation that you could recover will be strictly based on the details surrounding your accident and the harm that you suffered.
How much compensation can I be awarded? The possible value of your claim will be based on the specific harm that you suffered. Claims with only minor injuries will always be worth less than claims with severe injuries. Injury claims can be worth $75,000 to $150,000 for minor injuries, up to $350,000 for moderate injuries, and up to $750,000 for more severe injuries. In some cases, it is even possible to reach the million-dollar mark.

Here at our law firm, we are committed to getting our clients the settlement that they are owed within a reasonable length of time. We aim to settle our claims within 6 to 8 months, although this is not always possible. Different complications can lengthen the time that it takes to reach a settlement. Even moderate complications can make the process take up to 18 months. Severe complications can make the process take 2 years or even longer.

Filing Your Claim On Time
All injury claims are subject to a statute of limitations. A statute of limitations establishes the total length of time that claimants have to file their lawsuit. The failure to file claims on time can result in losing the right to file a lawsuit entirely. In California, injury claims are subject to a two-year statute of limitations, so claimants will only have two years to file their lawsuits. For more information about the time that you could have to file your lawsuit, do not hesitate to contact our experts immediately. Our lawyers are ready to do everything possible to help you file your claim on time.
