The Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents in Supermarkets

Slip and fall accidents are easily some of the most common types of personal injury accidents that shoppers could experience in supermarkets. Slip and fall accidents occur for a number of reasons – most of which are easily overlooked by employees, managers, and even shoppers. Some of the dangers that could contribute to slip and fall accidents include the following:

• Floors covered in garbage (paper ads, paper towels, plastic wrapping, cardboard, etc.)
• Refrigerator leaks
• Air-conditioner leaks
• Spilled products (milk, juice, oil, etc.)
• Fallen food products (i.e. fruits or vegetables can be slippery when stepped on)
• Waxed floors
• Wet floors
• Oily concrete

When we are shopping, most of us are not focused on the floor looking for hazards that could potentially cause us to slip. This is because we assume that the premises are safe for us to shop without having to worry about experiencing a dangerous slip and fall accident. For many, this assumption proves to be devastating.

The Injuries Shoppers Can Suffer in Supermarket Slip and Fall Accidents
Without a doubt, slip and fall accidents could result in a number of injuries. Some of the injuries that victims of slip and fall accidents could suffer include the following:

• Ankle injuries
• Back injuries
• Elbow injuries
• Hand injuries
• Head injuries
• Hip injuries
• Knee injuries
• Lacerations
• Leg injuries
• Neck injuries
• Pelvic injuries
• Scrapes and bruises
• Shoulder injuries
• Spinal cord injuries
• Sprains and strains
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Wrist injuries

Regardless of the specific harm that you suffered because of the slip and fall accident that you experienced, it is important that you are aware that your injuries could have been prevented if the Vallarta store owner had acted appropriately to ensure that their store premises were safe.

Our Recent Verdicts and Settlements

Premise Liability and the Right to Sue

Based on premise liability, all property owners – including store owners – have a duty to ensure that their premises are safe for their visitors. In other words, store owners have a duty to identify and address the hazards present in their premises (which include the interior and exterior of the store). When store owners fail to identify and address the hazards present in their premises, they are breaching their duty of care towards their shoppers; they are also putting their shoppers at risk of injury. When a breach of duty leads to an incident that causes harm to an unsuspecting shopper, the store owner could be liable. This is because the harm that the shopper suffered was a direct result of the store owner’s failure to ensure the safety of the store premises. What does this mean? If a store owner is at-fault for a slip and fall accident, the victim could sue. If you would like to learn more about premise liability and your right to pursue a slip and fall lawsuit against the supermarket, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm at your earliest convenience.

How to File a Claim

Filing a claim is not as simple as contacting an attorney. There are a number of steps that affected parties must follow to prepare to take legal action after experiencing a slip and fall accident at Vallarta supermarket or any other supermarket. Consider the following recommendations:

• Take photos of the scene of the accident, including the hazard that caused your fall
• Take photos of the physical injuries that you suffered
• Get the attention of store employees/managers immediately (preferably before you attempt to get up)
• Report your slip and fall accident to the manager on duty at the time of the accident (request a copy of your report)
• Gather the contact information of the manager on duty when your accident occurred
• Gather the contact information of any witnesses present at the time of your accident (be prompt because witnesses are usually quick to leave the scene)
• Request and gather Vallarta insurance information (the manager should be able to provide you with these details)
• Identify any surveillance cameras that could have captured your incident
• Collect all medical records associated with the harm that you suffered during your slip and fall accident
• Seek legal assistance from an experienced slip and fall lawyer

When you follow the steps listed above, you are essentially gathering important tools necessary to eventually pursue your claim.

About Average Values

What is the average settlement for a slip and fall accident in Vallarta? What is the average value for slip and fall injuries sustained in a slip and fall accident at a supermarket? If the possibility of recovering compensation is present, it is normal to want to learn more about the average values associated with successful slip and fall outcomes. However, it is important to understand that multiple factors can affect the value of a claim; therefore, looking at average values could be misleading. Slip and fall injury claims normally range between $15,000 and $45,000. However, it is common for claims to be worth less than $15,000 and more than $45,000 in some circumstances. The details that can affect the value of a slip and fall claim include the physical injuries suffered, the extent that the injuries have affected the victim’s life, the pain (physical, mental, and emotional) resulting from the incident and harm suffered, as well as the total income lost as a result of the incident. To ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the details that could affect the value of your claim, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with our experts immediately.

The Statute of Limitations

As mentioned above, you might have grounds to sue based on the details surrounding your claim. However, did you know that you could possibly lose your right to sue? All claims are subject to a strict deadline established by a statute of limitations. The statute of limitations determines the time that claimants have to sue. When claimants fail to file their claims within the time allowed by the statute of limitations, they will lose their right to sue – because of this, it is essential that all parties interested in pursuing a claim have a thorough understanding on the time that they have to sue.

What statute of limitations applies to your slip and fall claim against Vallarta? In California, slip and fall accident claims (and all other personal injury claims) are subject to a two-year statute of limitations. This means that claimants only have two years to file their claims. Without a doubt, this is a strict deadline; however, exceptions to the statute of limitations that applies to your claim. Based on certain details surrounding your claim, such as the age of the victim, the mental competency of the victim, and even whether the defendant leaves the state could all result in a tolling of the statute of limitations.

To ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the statute of limitations that applies to your claim, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the slip and fall lawyers at our firm. Our Vallarta slip and fall lawyers are ready to provide you with the guidance that you need to file your claim on time.
