Premises Liability and Warning Signage
Store owners, or any other property owner for that matter, are expected to make every effort to ensure the safety of the premises for their customers, regardless of the establishment. This expectation includes stores like McDonalds, Ralphs, Target, Taco Bell, and other restaurants, grocery stores, and places of business. All owners are upheld to a duty of care, which states that the owner must either fix hazardous conditions in their place of business or employ warning signs to alert customers of the particular situation. However, the store must have a reasonable amount of time to be made aware of the situation through regular inspection. If no inspection occurs, and someone slips because of this negligence, then the owner or management may be deemed responsible for the accident. In another instance, if inspections were performed regularly, and a store employee or store management fails to put up the appropriate signage to warn customers of the spill, liability could also fall on the owner or management.
How To Prove Liability
It is incredibly important to have enough evidence to show that the owner or management did not take the necessary steps to prevent a slip and fall accident. This evidence should be collected immediately after the incident, as important evidence may disappear after a short amount of time. One of the most useful forms of evidence that a victim could obtain is a photograph of the condition and whether warning signage was used. Filing an incident report is also an important aspect of collecting evidence. It may also prove useful to check to see if there are any video cameras in the area and to take a picture of the video cameras and any others that may be nearby. Afterwards, ask the management for the footage from the video cameras, as this footage would prove the circumstances of your case.
Witness testimony is also a viable form of evidence. If anyone saw your fall, reach out to them, ask for their contact information, and obtain a written statement if possible. It is also important to ask them if they have seen this incident happen before, or if they have ever seen prior use of the proper warning signage.
The last, most vital form of evidence is from a doctor through medical records that link your injuries to the incident. It may also help to take a picture of any of the injuries that you may have endured.
