Were you injured in an accident while shopping at a Save Mart supermarket? Were you physically or sexually assaulted on the premises of a Save Mart location due to lack of or inadequate security measures? These are examples of negligence by a commercial property owner, which would give you the right to file a lawsuit for monetary compensation.
Save Mart is one of California’s most popular grocery store chains, with 293 locations, mostly in North and Central California. The company also operates under the names of Lucky, Lucky California, Maxx Value Foods and FoodMaxx. Some cities, like Fresno, Visalia, and Sacramento have multiple Save Mart locations, which are known for their low prices and impressive product selection.
However, customers at a Save Mart may end up with more than they bargained for if the store fails to keep up with cleaning and maintenance duties. These include a wide variety of tasks, such as making repairs, clearing the aisles of hazards, putting up warning signs, and installing security measures in and outside the store.
When a supermarket is negligent in their duty of care, those on the premises may be involved in one of these accidents:
- Slip and fall
- Trip and fall
- Falling objects – items falling from store shelves, walls, ceilings, etc.
- Assault and battery – from store employees, trespassers due to lack of security
- Sexual assault
- Parking lot accidents
As the victim of an unexpected injury, it’s essential to learn about your rights from a store accident injury attorney. You may be entitled to compensation from Save Mart, but the legal process can be difficult to navigate when you don’t have expert knowledge of California’s premises liability laws. Our lawyers are here to answer your questions and help you figure out the best way to move forward, so contact us today for a free consultation.

How to File a Claim if You are Injured at Save Mart
Following the correct procedures is the best way to protect yourself, whether you slipped and fell in the aisles or had an accident in the parking lot. That’s why we have a list of suggestions on what you should do from the moment you are injured at a Save Mart grocery store location:
- Ask to speak with a manager right away, so that an incident report is filed by the store.
- Take photos of your injuries, the area where you had your accident, and the hazard that’s responsible for the incident. Also, try and see if you can spot any security cameras, which may have footage that you can request if you are eligible for an accident claim.
- If there are witnesses that saw what happened to you, ask for their contact information so that your lawyer can reach out to them for witness statements.
- Answer all questions from the manger with short, straightforward answers, making sure to avoid vague or emotional responses, like “That was silly of me” or “I’m sorry.”
- Before you leave the store, ask for a copy of the incident report.
- Call for an ambulance or head to a hospital as soon as possible so that your injuries are treated and documented by a medical professional.
- Compile your medical records, photos of injuries, witness statements, proof of lost wages, and other evidence to support your case.
- Discuss your rights and legal options with a lawyer that’s experienced in accident injury claims against supermarkets.
What is the Average Case Value of a Save Mart Accident Claim?
Though many people ask us for an average settlement value, it’s more important to consider what your case is worth, based on the unique circumstances of your accident. We examine a great deal of factors before we determine the value of your case. These include:
- Your total medical expenses in order for you to reach MMI (maximum medical improvement)
- Future medical expenses if you have severe / lifelong injuries
- Missed wages and lost work benefits (PTO, for example) due to your recovery needs
- Loss of earning potential / future lost wages if you have serious injuries
- Property damage (lost or damaged personal belongings)
- Non-economic damages: mental anguish, emotional distress, pain and suffering, loss of consortium, etc.
- Legal fees – cost of hiring and attorney and related court costs
While this is not an exhaustive list, it goes to show you the complexity of determining what someone is entitled to when they are injured by someone else’s negligence. Most cases of accidents at a supermarket are settled for around $15,000 to $3,000,000 and above at our law firm. But this is only an estimate that may not reflect what you will end up with from a successful lawsuit. To learn the approximate value of your own injury case against Save Mart Supermarkets, schedule a free case evaluation by contacting our office.
What is the Estimated Time to Receive Payment from these Cases?
Timelines vary significantly from one case to another, and there’s no average time frame on how long it will take to settle an injury claim for an accident at a grocery store. As the victim, your main priority is to receive a fair amount of monetary damages and move forward with your life. Save Mart, on the other hand, wants to settle your case for the lowest amount, which is why legal representation is highly recommended. A seasoned Save Mart accident injury lawyer at our office can negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf and ensure that you receive maximum payment for your injuries.
We attempt to resolve all injury claims within 6 months, but some of these cases take 1 or more years before a settlement is reached. If we are no closer to a settlement after multiple negotiation attempts, we can move forward with a lawsuit, which does not mean that your case will go to trial. While this is a possibility, over 95% of these lawsuits are settled without the need for a trial. However, this is still a time-consuming process, which is why a supermarket injury accident case can take anywhere from a few months to over two years.
Statute of Limitations to File a Grocery Store Accident Lawsuit
Personal injury lawsuits must be filed within 2 years in the state of California, expect in cases of sexual assault. These lawsuits have a 10-year statute of limitations for adults, and even longer if the victim is under 18 years old. However, most cases are subject to a deadline of 2 years, so this is the best time frame to keep in mind.
No matter how much time you have for a legal action against the negligent party, acting quickly is the best course of action when it comes to a lawsuit. These are complicated legal actions that require extensive evidence, which becomes harder to obtain the longer you wait on a lawsuit. Furthermore, the courts rarely allow people to proceed with a lawsuit if they are past the normal statute of limitations. To ensure that your right to sue Save Mart Supermarkets is not taken away, contact us right away to begin the legal process with one of our attorneys.
Help from a Lawyer with Experience in Supermarket Injury Claims
Supermarkets have the highest duty of care to the people on their premises, but unfortunately, lack of maintenance, poor judgment by employees, and many other issues can result in someone being injured at the store. As an accident victim, you have the right to monetary compensation from the responsible parties. You also have the right to retain the services of an experienced personal injury attorney, which is where we can be of help.
With decades of experience in premises liability cases, we are more than prepared to secure the compensation you deserve. Our lawyers are ready to assist you, whether you just had an accident, or you have concerns about a claim that was filed with another law firm. However, we want to give you a chance to meet with us and see for yourself if we are the right law firm to represent you.
Simply give us a call and schedule a free initial case review or free second opinion consultation. There is no out of pocket cost to you when you become one of our clients. We work on contingency, so we receive a percentage of your settlement at the end of your case. What happens in the event you don’t receive payment from a Save Mart accident injury claim? No worries – you owe us absolutely nothing, as we operate under the Zero Fee Guarantee.
Please take the time to learn about your rights and legal options if you ended up with an injury while you were at a Save Mart location. We look forward to speaking with you during a free, private consultation.
