Consumers love the very competitive pricing at Walmart and that they can purchase all their household needs in these stores, which are often much larger than a football field. However, what they often fail to appreciate is that it can be very challenging or even impossible to address the many safety issues that can arise when the daily average of 10,000 shoppers are hustling through these stores. Sadly, there are countless spills, dropped items, and other issues that create safety hazards when not immediately addressed by the staff at Walmart.
The unfortunate truth is that there are many Walmart accident injuries that are caused by slip and fall, trip and fall, or incidents where a shopper is hurt by a falling object because these massive stores are hard to maintain.

What Causes So Many Walmart Injuries?
In a large facility like a Walmart store, the staff must remain fully focused on the safety of shoppers by inspecting and correcting common safety issues quickly. Unfortunately, many stores have less dedicated employees who fail to take this legal obligation seriously. They are willing to overlook many potential safety issues that can turn into an injury accident in a fraction of a second, such as:
- Water, drinks, or other liquid spilled on the floor
- Food or other merchandise that is dropped or spilled on the floor
- Water lines, hoses, or clogged drains that moisten the floors
- Damaged or malfunctioning plumbing fixtures that create wet and slippery floors
- Missing or saturated floor mats in moist areas of the store or at entrances
- Hoses or electrical cords left in walkways
- Missing or damaged safety handrails at steps or ramps
- Poorly marked or unmarked transitions from one flooring surface to another
- Unmarked or poorly marked transitions in elevations, such as steps or ramps
- Damaged flooring surfaces or floors
- Cracked, damaged, or uneven concrete or asphalt in the parking lot or on sidewalks
While these all sound like minor issues that can easily be repaired or eliminated, they are also potentially hazardous to customers who do not expect safety issues in a store like Walmart. The most upsetting part of these incidents for injury victims is that if the staff at the store had been a bit more dedicated and aware of their legal obligation or duty of care and had addressed the minor safety concern, they could have prevented severe and costly injuir8es to a store patron.
Understanding Duty Of Care
All public and private property owners are legally required to follow the guidelines of premises liability law to ensure the safety of guests. These rules were created to ensure that all public and private spaces are maintained to the same level of safety. When the owner of a property is not present, their staff carries the weight of the obligation to routinely inspect the space for safety issues and correct them within a reasonable amount of time. If the staff fails to take the appropriate action when a safety issue is discovered or reported by a guest, they can be deemed negligent in their duty of care. In addition, if it is later found that the staff negligence caused or contributed to a guest suffering harm, the property owner can be held liable for the losses and expenses incurred by the victim.
If you feel that your Walmart injury incident was caused by staff negligence, please contact Normandie Law Firm today to discuss the incident with a skilled Walmart personal injury attorney to determine if you have grounds for a lawsuit and to seek compensation for your losses.
How Much Is The Average Walmart Accident Injury Lawsuit Worth?
It is critical for all personal injury victims to understand that there are no predetermined compensation amounts awarded when they get hurt in a Walmart store. Instead, each personal injury lawsuit is carefully evaluated, and the compensation awarded to the victim is based on their actual losses and expenses caused by the injury incident. This process ensures that each injury victim is fully and fairly compensated for any challenges created when they are hurt because a Walmart employee failed to take appropriate action to eliminate a known safety issue and protect the safety of guests in the store.
Working with your Walmart injury attorney at Normandie Law Firm, you will gather all documentation to confirm your allowable expenses used to calculate the compensation for your lawsuit. The items that are most often used in the process include but are not always limited to:
- The replacement cost of any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the Walmart injury incident
- The cost of all current and future medical expenses related to the care of the injuries suffered in the Walmart incident
- Your legal fees related to preparing, filing, and litigating the personal injury lawsuit against Walmart
- Your lost income if the injuries suffered at Walmart prevent you from working at your regular job until you have fully healed and been cleared by your medical care provider to return to the duties of your job
Vital Time Factors To Understand
As the victim of a personal injury, you have two years from the date of the injury incident to file a lawsuit with the court. If the case is not filed within that time limit, you will lose the right to pursue legal action to recover compensation for the losses and expenses created by that particular injury incident. It is also critical to understand that the time needed to resolve the case can vary based on many factors. The time it takes for your legal team to prepare the case to file with the court, the response time of the legal team at Walmart, and the workload of the court will all impact the time needed to settle your lawsuit. However, you should also know that cases handled by a legal professional are resolved exponentially faster and for larger compensation than those handled by the injury victim with no legal representation. Please contact Normandie Law Firm to learn about the time estimation to complete your Walmart injury lawsuit.
No Upfront Legal Fees Or Added Stress
When you hire Normandie Law Firm to handle your Walmart injury lawsuit, our team will begin work immediately and never require any upfront payments or expenses. Instead, the firm only gets paid for the time and investment made in preparing the lawsuit after the matter is completed, and you have the compensation needed to cover all your legal costs and expenses. This simple policy ensures all personal injury victims have access to the legal services needed to secure the compensation that is owed to them. Finally, if your Normandie Law Firm Walmart injury attorney fails to win your case and deliver the compensation you need to cover your expenses, you owe the law firm nothing.
Please get in touch with Normandie Law Firm today to learn more about this very important opportunity to get the finical help you deserve for the harm that was caused due to Walmart staff negligence and your injury incident.
