Vons is a grocery store chain that’s owned by Albertson’s, which also owns Pavilions – another chain of supermarkets. These stores are quite similar, but it’s clear that Pavilions has a more upscale environment, with a bigger selection of organic foods, wines, and imported items. The majority of Vons and Pavilions stores are located in Southern California, and most people in the Los Angeles area are familiar with the company’s slogan “Ingredients for Life.”
Though Albertsons takes pride in the fresh products and warm, inviting décor at their supermarkets, we all know that appearances can be deceiving. Even if a store has an extensive wine selection, that doesn’t make up for hazards like dirty floors, overcrowded shelves, ice in the parking lot, and poor training and supervision of employees. These are just some of the issues that can cause people to be injured from:
- Slip and fall accident
- Trip and fall
- Falling objects
- Assault and battery
- Sexual assault
- Parking lot accidents
If you or someone you know was harmed from any of these incidents, there are many questions that you need answer to. For example, you may be wondering about the amount of compensation that’s available to you from an injury claim against the store.

What Kind of Compensation Can I Get?
A settlement is much more than a lump sum of money that you receive at the end of a lawsuit. These funds are meant to compensate you for the losses you’ve suffered as a direct result of your accident. That’s why it’s important to understand the monetary damages that you are entitled to as the victim of another party’s negligence.
The compensation that’s available to you may include some or all of the following:
- Cost of medical bills
- Future / lifetime medical expenses
- Lost wages during the recovery period
- Future lost wages if you are unable to work
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Property damage
- Cost of legal representation
- Punitive damages
An experienced supermarket injury lawsuit attorney will advise you of the damages that apply to your case and ensure that you receive a fair amount of compensation from a Vons or Pavilions accident claim.
Average Value of an Accident Injury Case Settlement against Vons / Pavilions Supermarket
Due to the various accidents that can happen at a grocery store, it’s impossible to say what the average Vons / Pavilions injury case is worth. There are situations where a claimant is fairly compensated from a settlement of $15,000 or less. For others, a settlement of $3,000,000 or more is appropriate, based on the extent of their injuries and negligence by the defendant. Most cases that are settled by our attorneys are worth around $75,000 to $2,500,000. However, we want to stress that each case has its own set of circumstances that will determine how much the victim is entitled to.
Length of Time to Settle a Supermarket Injury Claim
It can take anywhere from a few weeks to several years to receive payment from a Vons / Pavilions accident claim. Though it’s not an absolute rule, most cases involving minor injuries are settled within a few months, possibly as fast as 30 days. Claims for moderate to serious injurie take quite a bit longer – probably 6 to 10 months for the majority of injury victims. If there are unexpected issues that require additional legal action, like hiring a certified mediator, the case resolution process can be 2 years or longer.
How Long Do I have to File a Lawsuit?
It’s essential to understand the filing deadline for a personal injury lawsuit. If you are past the statute of limitations for an injury claim, you will permanently lose the right to sue the negligent party. As a general rule, victims have 2 years from the time they are injured to file a lawsuit for unsafe conditions at a supermarket. For sexual assault claims, however, the time limit is 10 years from the date of the incident for adults. If you were a minor at the time, your statute of limitations is 22 years after turning the age of majority, i.e., 18 years old.
As you can see, deadlines for a lawsuit can vary depending on your individual circumstances. We can help you figure out the exact amount of time you have to initiate a claim, so don’t hesitate to give us a call.
