Potential Incidents at The Grove
Although guests at The Grove expect only to shop and stroll through the shopping center, there are a number of factors that could put them at risk of suffering different types of incidents while on the premises of the retail center. Some of the incidents that could occur on the premises of The Grove include the following:
- Slip and fall accidents
- Trip and fall accidents
- Falling object incidents
- Sexual assault
- Assault and battery
All of the incidents listed above are associated with different hazards that could be present throughout the premises of a property. For instance, slip and fall as well as trip and fall accidents are associated with hazards on the floor. Slip and fall hazards include slippery surfaces, wet floors, leaks, spills, and lack of warning signs. Trip and fall hazards include broken sidewalks, potholes, uneven flooring, and misplaced weather mats, for instance. On the contrary, falling object incidents are associated with hazards higher up – specifically, on walls, ceilings, and shelving. Things like fans, light fixtures, shelves, and displays could collapse and cause objects to fall on unsuspecting shoppers. Sexual assault as well as assault and battery are typically associated with hazards like poorly lit areas, isolated areas, a lack of security guards, and a lack of security cameras, for instance.
All of these incidents could result in a number of injuries, some of which can potentially be fatal. Regardless of the specific incident and harm that you or a member of your family suffered, you should consider your right to pursue a claim. Do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm immediately to learn more about your right to sue.
Understanding Premise Liability
Who is liable for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered at The Grove? Based on the concept of premise liability, the property owner could be liable for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered. This is because property owners owe their guests a duty of care – specifically, a duty to ensure that their premises are free of any hazards that could potentially result to incidents that could harm guests. In other words, property owners must test and inspect their premises routinely to be able to identify and address any hazards or dangerous conditions present. When they fail to do this, they are breaching their duty of care and putting their guests at risk of suffering harm.
Therefore, when a breached duty of care leads to the harm that a consumer suffers, the property owner could be liable. That is, you could sue the owner of The Grove. What if the incident occurred inside a store? Based on premise liability, you would be able to sue the store owner. To ensure that you have a thorough understanding of premise liability and your right to sue after a personal injury incident, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm as soon as possible.

File Your Claim Quickly
If you or a member of your family suffered an incident on the premises of The Grove or any other retail center or mall, you might have grounds to pursue a personal injury claim. Did you know that you could lose your right to sue if you fail to file your claim within the appropriate length of time? This is because your claim is subject to a statute of limitations. A statute of limitations determines the total length of time that claimants have to sue. If you do not file within the allowed time, you could lose your right to sue.
How long do you have to pursue your claim? In California, personal injury claims are normally subject to a two-year statute of limitations; therefore, claimants will only have two years to sue. However, exceptions to the statute of limitations could apply, resulting in a tolled or paused deadline. To ensure that you know exactly how long you have to pursue your claim, speak with the experts at our firm at your earliest convenience.
