What Are Big Box Store Accident Cases?

Know Your Rights as a Shopper

Need help after a big box store accident? Learn more about big box store accident legal help and what you need to know. Big box store accident cases happen when people get hurt in large retail stores due to unsafe conditions. Major retailers like Walmart, Target, Home Depot, and Costco have a duty to keep their stores safe for customers.

These stores must maintain safe aisles, properly stack merchandise, clean up spills quickly, and fix broken flooring. When they fail to do this, shoppers can suffer serious injuries from falling merchandise, slip and fall accidents, and other dangerous conditions. Store accidents often happen because employees are rushed or stores are understaffed.

Our Big Box Store Accident Legal Services

The León Law Firm handles big box store accident cases. We know how to prove major retailers were negligent:

Falling Merchandise Claims

Big box stores stack items high on shelves to save space, but this puts shoppers in danger. Heavy products can fall and cause head injuries, broken bones, and other injuries. Stores have a legal duty to secure merchandise properly and check shelves regularly for safety. We help shoppers injured by falling items prove the store failed to maintain safe conditions and hold them responsible for injuries.

Slip and Fall in Store Aisles

Big box stores have wide aisles that can become dangerous when spills aren’t cleaned up quickly or warning signs aren’t posted. Wet floors from leaking freezers, spilled drinks, or tracked-in rain can cause serious falls. We help customers who slipped and fell in store aisles prove the store knew about the dangerous condition but failed to fix it or warn shoppers.

Parking Lot and Cart Accidents

Big box store parking lots are often poorly lit and maintained, creating dangers for customers. Potholes, broken curbs, and inadequate lighting can cause falls and injuries. Shopping cart accidents also happen when carts have broken wheels or handles. We help customers injured in parking lots and by defective shopping carts.

Common Questions About Big Box Store Accident Cases

Our skilled legal team answers common questions about store accident injury cases:

Understanding Store Accident Law

What types of accidents happen most often in big box stores?

The most frequent accidents include customers slipping on wet floors, heavy items falling from tall shelves, injuries from defective shopping carts, parking lot trips and falls, and accidents caused by broken store equipment. These incidents typically occur when stores cut costs on maintenance and staffing, putting shoppers at risk.

How do I prove the store was at fault for my accident?

You must show the store knew or should have known about the dangerous condition and failed to fix it or warn customers. We gather evidence like security camera footage, incident reports, employee witness statements, and store maintenance records. We also look for similar accidents at the same store location.

What if the store says I should have been more careful?

Big box stores often try to blame customers for not paying attention or being careless. But stores still have a legal duty to keep their premises reasonably safe for customers. Even if you were somewhat distracted, the store can still be held responsible if it created or allowed a dangerous condition to exist.

Legal Process and Evidence

How long do I have to file a big box store accident lawsuit?

Most store accident cases have a two-year deadline from the date of your accident. Don’t wait to contact a lawyer because important evidence can be lost over time, and stores often destroy security camera footage after a few months.

What evidence do you need for my big box store accident case?

We need photos of where you fell or were injured, your injuries, and the conditions that caused your accident. We also need medical records, witness contact information, and any incident reports filed with the store. The sooner you contact us, the better we can preserve important evidence like security footage.

What if the store says they have no record of my accident?

Stores sometimes claim they have no record of accidents to avoid liability. We investigate thoroughly to find evidence of your accident, including security camera footage, employee witness statements, and maintenance records. We also look for other customers who may have witnessed your accident.

What if store employees were helpful after my accident?

Even if store employees were kind and helpful after your accident, this doesn’t mean the store isn’t liable for your injuries. Stores train employees to be helpful after accidents to limit their legal exposure. We focus on what caused your accident, not how employees treated you afterward.

Types of Injuries and Compensation You Can Get

What types of injuries are common in big-box store accidents?

Common injuries include head injuries from falling merchandise, broken bones from slips and falls, back and spine injuries, cuts from broken items, and bruises from heavy falling objects. These injuries often require emergency room treatment, surgery, and long recovery times that keep people out of work.

How much compensation can I get for my big box store accident case?

The amount depends on the severity of your injuries, medical costs, lost wages, and how the accident affected your life. Cases with serious injuries like head trauma or broken bones typically result in higher settlements. We fight for full compensation for all your damages, including future medical needs and reduced quality of life.

Can I still sue if I was shopping with a coupon or during a sale?

Yes, your status as a customer doesn’t change based on how much you spent or whether you used coupons. All customers have the same right to shop in a safe environment. The store’s duty to maintain safe conditions applies to all shoppers regardless of their purchasing behavior.
