Petco Injury Lawsuit Lawyer

Would you be surprised to learn that over 65% of all homes in the United States have at least one pet? It sounds like a significant number that might be a bit overinflated. However, when you visit a California Petco store and see how crowded it is, you begin to believe the numbers. Pet parents love to visit a store that welcomes their dog to shop with them, get some socialization, and learn to act appropriately in a new and very different setting. And other shoppers often enjoy seeing new breeds of dogs, meeting other pet owners, and getting tips that could enhance their dog’s life.

However, there can be a few drawbacks to this environment that welcomes dogs and other pets into a public shopping area. While most pet owners know the potential hazards, not all focus on safety. So it is not unheard of for a dog to become overstimulated, nervous, and even aggressive when it cannot retreat to a space where it feels safe and protected. The result can be a dog that pees on the floor, creating a slip-and-fall safety hazard, a dog bite, or other injuries to a human or another dog near the upset animal.

If you have been the victim of an injury while shopping at a Petco store, it is essential that you contact Normandie Law Firm as soon as possible. You need to understand many pieces of information, from who is liable for a dog bite to the premises liability guidelines Petco stores should be following. Then, during a free consultation, you can discuss the details of your situation with a Normandie Law Firm Petco injury lawyer to decide if a lawsuit will be the best way to protect yourself, your loved ones, and your financial future.

Slip And Fall Injuries Happen Millions Of Times Each Year
Slip and fall injuries are often hazardous because the victim is not expecting a slippery or treacherous surface. When these unexpected slip-and-fall incidents occur, the result can be anything from minor bumps and bruises to broken bones, a traumatic head injury, or even life-threatening injuries. And sadly, in many cases, the incident could have been prevented with just a little added effort toward safety on the part of the property owner or, in this case, the staff of the Petco store.

Under the premises liability laws, property owners, store management, and those caring for commercial properties have a responsibility to anyone traversing the property. Therefore, these spaces need to be maintained in a safe and hazard-free manner. In addition, the responsible parties need to regularly inspect the property to ensure safe conditions, react promptly when a hazard is reported, and eliminate safety hazards quickly or at least mark them as safety hazards for guests to avoid.

If you were the victim of a slip and fall incident at a Petco store, the personal injury experts at Normandie Law Firm are here to provide the information and answers you need to protect your rights and financial future. The medical care required to treat your injuries could become very expensive. If the Normandie Law Firm team can prove that your injury is due to the negligence of the Petco staff, they will also become liable for your medical bills and other expenses you incur due to the injuries sustained when you fell in their store. Contact Normandie Law Firm today to schedule your free consultation to learn more.
The Potential Hazards Of Suffering A Dog Bite While At Petco
Sadly, you can never be sure how a dog will react in a stressful or new situation. And while most dog owners who bring their pets to Petco take all the correct safety precautions, some are not as diligent. And typically, that is when a dog bite injury occurs. You might not have even approached the dog. Instead, it could have come up to you and decided you were a threat. And if the owner was not paying attention, you could suffer a severe dog bite injury in only a fraction of a second.

But what is equally as worrisome is that even a very minor dog bite that barely breaks the skin’s surface can become a life-threatening issue. The germs and bacteria in dogs’ mouths and saliva can be deadly to humans. Just a tiny puncture can allow those germs and bacteria to enter your body and begin to attack your immune system. What does not even need a bandage today could become infected, red, swollen, painful, and require surgery in just a day or two if left untreated.

So it is always vital to get the contact information of the dog owner, the dog’s vet’s contact information, and contact information or a statement from anyone who witnessed the dog bite incident. You should also alert the store manager of the incident and complete any report they need for their records. Then seek a medical evaluation of the bite to ensure there is no risk of complications due to infection or other injuries to the bone or soft tissue.
How Long Do I Have To File A Lawsuit?
In California, the average personal injury case has a Statute of Limitations of two years from the date of the incident. Therefore, if you fail to file a claim with the court system before the second anniversary of the injury, your claim is likely to be denied. There are very few exceptions to this two-year limit, but the staff at Normandie Law Firm will explain any that might apply to your case and why you should consider taking the added time allotment.

While you have only two years to file your claim for the dog bite, slip and fall, or other injuries, it is vital to understand that you do not need to wait that long to file a lawsuit. And in most cases, the sooner you file, the better it is for you. There is no way to know how long the case will take to move through the court to reach completion. So the sooner you file, the sooner you will get your settlement or verdict to begin paying the medical bills and other expenses you incurred due to your injuries.
What Is The Value Of A Petco Injury Lawsuit?
The value of most lawsuits is based primarily on the expenses and losses of the victim. For example, in the case of an injury suffered at a Petco store, you can expect to request compensation for the following:

• All medical care related to your injuries, including essential medical devices and medication prescribed for you.
• The amount of any lost wages if you were unable to work during your recovery or missed work to attend medical appointments
• The value of any damaged personal property
• The cost of your legal fees for representation and filing the lawsuit
• In some cases, a dollar amount can be added to account for your pain and suffering due to the injuries you sustained

The experts at Normandie Law Firm will assist you in compiling all the expenses and documentation to support your request for compensation. With years of experience helping other personal injury victims, our staff has the expertise to ensure you get the most robust compensation possible.
