What Hazards Lead to Slip and Fall Accidents?
Slip and fall accidents are very common in supermarkets. This is because there are a number of things in supermarkets that could pose a risk to unsuspecting shoppers. Shoppers could suffer slip and fall accident while walking in store parking lots, entering/exiting the store, shopping, checking out, and even using the public restroom in the store. Some of the risks that could be present on store premises include the following:
- Wet floors
- Oily concrete
- Slippery surfaces
- Waxed floors
- Spilled liquids
- Produce on the floor
- Trash on the floor
- Leaks
These hazards can occur at any time, usually due to the recklessness of employees and managers. When these hazards lead to slip and fall accidents, affected parties could be left suffering from a number of injuries.

The Injuries Associated with Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents can lead to many injuries. Although slip and fall injuries can sometimes be minor, they can range in severity. Slip and fall injuries can be fatal under some circumstances. Some of the injuries that victims could suffer after being involved in a slip and fall accident include the following: head injuries; traumatic brain injuries; neck injuries; back injuries; spinal cord injuries; broken bones; joint injuries; torn ligaments; muscle damage; nerve damage; lacerations; sprains/strains; scrapes; bruises. Regardless of the harm that you suffered, you should explore the possibility of pursuing a claim against Whole Foods.
Understanding Liability in Supermarket Slip and Fall Accidents
If you were involved in a Whole Foods slip and fall accident, you might have grounds to pursue a claim – you might have grounds to sue based on the concept of premise liability. Based on premise liability, property owners (which include store owners) have a duty to ensure that their entire premises are free of any hazards that could harm visitors (or shoppers). This means that store owners (and the parties that they employ) have a duty to identify and address any hazards present on the premises. When store owners fail to identify and address the dangers present throughout the store property, they are putting their shoppers at risk of suffering slip and fall accidents and becoming injured. When an accident occurs and a victim suffers injuries as a direct result of a hazard present on the premises, the store could be liable. If Whole Foods is liable for a slip and fall accident, the victim could sue for the harm suffered. For more information about premise liability and your right to sue after a Whole Foods slip and fall accident, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with our lawyers as soon as possible.
