Store Liability to Shoppers
According to store policy, management and employees are to do everything possible to ensure that customers are safe during their visit to store property. Walgreens has a duty to its customers to ensure their wellbeing both inside the store and outside in the store’s sidewalks and parking lots. The duty to ensure safety requires management and employees to address all potential hazards before an accident occurs. For example, if there is a spill on the ground, an employee is expected to either clean up the spill or place a warning sign at the site of the spill to alert customers. Doing so ensures that store management and employees perform their duty to all shoppers. As soon as an employee ignores a potentially hazardous situation—like a spill—he or she has breached the duty to all shoppers. If this breach of duty results in an accident, and the accident results in injury to the shopper, the store can be found liable, and the customer can sue for his or her injuries.
Duty, breach, cause, and harm are the four elements of negligence. Store management and employees have a duty to keep all shoppers safe from harm. If the injury sustained during the accident can be directly linked to a breach of duty, the store will be found liable for the victim’s injuries.
Risks of Injuries at Walgreens
Shoppers might not think they risk falling on the ground when they step onto a store’s premises. There is a general belief that stores are safe places. According to policy, stores like Walgreens should always be safe for shoppers. However, employees and management cannot always address hazards before they cause a trip and fall accident. Let us consider some of the risks created that might cause Walgreens slip and fall accidents:
- Slip and falls in Walgreens bathrooms can occur because of the likelihood of slippery floors either because of water or paper towels. Spilled water is a clear hazard. Paper towels, however, can also cause a shopper to slip and fall at Walgreens.
- Slip and falls in Walgreens parking lots and sidewalks can occur because employees and managers prioritize in-store cleaning and upkeep. However, accidents on improperly maintained parking lots and sidewalks can cause the same harm as accidents inside the store. Walgreens parking lot accidents can also be attributed to the store’s negligence.
- Slip and falls at Walgreens entrances and exits are particularly dangerous because the floors can be slippery. Entrances and exits should be equipped with weather mats to prevent slippery floors; however, sometimes these mats are misplaced and create a hazard rather than preventing it.
- Slip and falls near food vendors inside Walgreens can likely occur is vendors restocking vending machines or displays do not set up their products cautiously. If vendors leave items all over the floor, shoppers can be injured at Walgreens.
- Slip and falls in Walgreens’s grocery section can happen if any items fall off of the shelves or if anything breaks and spills on the floor.
- Slip and falls in Walgreens’s electronics department can occur whenever there are items on the floor or if any price advertisement signs fall onto the floor.
- Slip and falls in Walgreens’s home and housewares department might result from disorganization in the department. Items like towels can easily be bunched on a shelf and fall onto the floor. Unsuspecting shoppers can slip if they step on any towels on the floor.
These risks would be nonexistent if Walgreens’ managers and employees routinely scanned the store for potential hazards and promptly addressed them. If you are an injured shopper, victim to any of the previously-mentioned risks, you must file a Walgreens personal injury claim. Whether you were injured in a Walgreens bathroom or a Walgreens parking lot or sidewalk, you have the right to sue. You must contact a lawyer with experience in handling Walgreens slip and fall lawsuits as soon as possible.

Past Walgreens Settlements and Verdicts
Personal injury claims, in general, do not have a preset verdict or settlement amount for cases. The amount of compensation a victim might be eligible to receive will depend on the specific details of the victim’s injuries. Some factors are likely to include the amount of time the victim is out of work, the effect of the injury on the victim’s ability to perform future work, and the permanency of the injury, among others. Below are a few past verdict and settlement amounts for Walgreens lawsuits:
- $62,000—the victim slipped and fell on a liquid after exiting the store. The victim suffered an injured back and an injured left knee.
- $20,000—a 57-year-old mother of two slipped and fell after stepping onto a recently waxed floor. The fall resulted in back and knee injuries that required constant physical therapy.
- $135,000—a 64-year-old man slipped and fell on a slick ice patch on a Walgreens sidewalk. The fall resulted in a severe shoulder injury and a fracture of this hand. The injuries required surgical treatment and intense physical therapy.
As you can see, the details of each incident are different. To get an estimate case value, contact an attorney who can sue Walgreens. Upon evaluation of your Walgreens slip and fall claim, the attorney should be able to estimate the value of your case.
