CVS Pharmacy Liability for your Slip and Fall Accident
All stores—including CVS—are responsible for keeping the store premises safe for all customers. The stores’ premises include the entire inside of the store, the sidewalk surrounding the store, and the store’s parking lot. If the customer slips and falls on the ground on CVS property, the customer can sue for his or her injuries. All stores must follow a strict policy that ensures that the store is kept safe for shoppers. Store management and employees must perform the highest care to ensure that there are no potential hazards anywhere in or surrounding the store. If management and employees fail to address risks and a shopper in injured, the store is likely to be found liable for the customer’s injuries.
For more information on CVS’s liability for your slip and fall accident, contact Normandie Law Firm for a consultation with Los Angeles attorneys. Our attorneys will evaluate your CVS accident claim and will give you further information on the store’s responsibility for your injuries.
Risk of Injuries in CVS Premises
CVS Pharmacy is often a busy store with many moving parts. Many times, the staff is limited, and certain things are prioritized. What might be prioritized? On a busy, short-staffed day, management might prioritize having many cashiers up front and perhaps one team member restocking shelves. In dire circumstances, the one team member working on restocking shelves might be called up to offer additional cashier assistance. Whatever the case, management and employees are aware that they must routinely walk the store premises looking for potential hazards that could lead to a shopper falling on the ground and becoming injured. On busy days, employees might not have time to address hazards to prevent injuries. Below, you will find a list of what you might risk upon entering a CVS location:
- Slip and falls in CVS bathrooms due to wet floors
- Slip and falls in CVS parking lots and sidewalks due to cracks, spills, and potholes
- Slip and falls near food vendors inside CVS due to stacks of products on the floor
- Slip and falls at CVS entrances and exits due to misplaced weather mats and slippery floors
- Slip and falls in CVS’s home and housewares department due to items hanging on the floor
- Slip and falls in CVS’s electronics department due to electrical cords on the floor
- Slip and falls in CVS’s grocery section due to spills or leaks from refrigeration systems
If CVS management and employees properly exercised their duty to keep store premises safe for shoppers, these risks would not exist. Unfortunately, management and employees can often be negligent and ignore hazards. If you were injured anywhere in a CVS—in CVS bathrooms or CVS parking lots and sidewalks—you have rights. Contact Normandie Law Firm as soon as possible to speak to a CVS injury attorney who can help you with your CVS slip and fall claim.

Filing Your CVS Slip and Fall Claim
CVS slip and falls can be serious. Many people are not aware that stores like CVS can be liable for injuries sustained on the store’s premises. If you were a victim of a slip and fall accident, you must take action as soon as possible. The first thing you should do is call for help—do not try to get up, as you might worsen your injuries. A witness might be able to call an employee or a manager over to the scene of your accident. A member of the store staff must acknowledge your fall. If you are injured, ask for medical attention immediately. If you are mobile, take pictures of the scene of the accident. Note what caused the accident. Was there liquid on the floor? Was the weather mat misplaced? If anybody witnessed your accident, ask for their contact information. If you do not seek medical attention immediately after the accident, seek care as soon as you experience pain. You must be able to trace back your injuries to your accident. Make sure that you keep a record of the medical expenses associated with the injuries you acquired in the CVS accident.
