The Risk of Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents are, unfortunately, very common at supermarkets. Slip and fall accidents can be caused by a number of hazards. Some of the hazards that could contribute to slip and fall accidents could include some of the following:

• Wet floors
• Slippery floors due to recent waxing
• Spilled products
• Leaking refrigerators
• Leaking air-conditioning systems
• Garbage littered on the floor (i.e. paper towels or paper ads)

Any of these hazards could contribute to slip and fall accidents. Shoppers could unknowingly step onto hazards and slip, resulting in falls and potential injuries.

Desafortunadamente, puede ver muchos peligros en las tiendas. Pisos mojados, fugas de agua, refrigeradores goteando, y basura en el piso, son solo algunos de los peligros que pueden causar resbalones y caídas.

Understanding Liability in Slip and Fall Accidents

Do you have the right to sue for the harm suffered in a slip and fall accident? In general, victims can sue only if the harm that they suffered can be directly associated with a breached duty of care. This is based on the concept of premise liability. Based on premise liability, property owners owe their visitors a duty of care. In other words, store owners owe their shoppers a duty of care. They have the duty to keep the entire premises free of any hazards. When property owners fail to identify and address the hazards present on their premises, they are breaching their duty of care and putting innocent parties at risk of suffering accidents. If a hazard leads to a slip and fall accident that contributes to the injuries that a customer suffers, the store owner could be liable. This means that the victim could pursue a slip and fall injury accident lawsuit.

On the contrary, if the incident resulted in major injuries, the value of your claim can potentially surpass the upper end of the average and easily reach and surpass the $100,000 mark.
