Did You Slip and Fall at the Grocery Store?
Duty of Care
Premises Liability
To create a successful grocery store slip and fall claim, you
must establish three specific factors:
- A hazard on the store's premises (inside or outside) injured you
- The store's owner either caused the hazard, or knew or should have known about the hazard's presence-but did not take reasonable measures to address it (such as by clearing it away, fixing it, or posting a warning sign) in a reasonable amount of time
- The hazard wasn't so obvious that you could have avoided it had you bothered
Your grocery store slip and fall case will hinge on how well the
specifics of your accident coincide with these elemental
factors.
Common Causes of Grocery Store Slip and
Falls
Slip and fall accidents can-and often do-take place anywhere, and
grocery stores are no exception. A variety of causes, however,
are common to grocery store slip and fall accidents:
- Parking lots that accumulate ice and snow, wet leaves, or puddles of water
- Parking lots with broken or damaged surfaces or that are riddled with debris
- Entryways that become slippery from tracked-in ice, snow, rain, or wet leaves
- Stores with uneven, broken, ripped, torn, or otherwise damaged floors
- Stores with floors that are polished to a slippery sheen
- Stores with spilled liquids or slippery foods in the aisles
- Stores with debris in the aisles
- Stores with dangerously placed or erected displays
