Many people are coming and going from these busy stores that are always working to keep operating costs down and prices ultra-competitive. While most shoppers appreciate the reasonable cost of goods at these stores, they can quickly become critical of the practices at Walmart when they suffer an incident that results in a back injury. Unfortunately, the staff in these stores are not as focused on the safety of patrons as they could be, or they are actively correcting issues that could result in a slip and fall, trip and fall, or injury from a falling object that causes a back injury.

Are Back Injuries At Walmart Common?
Many consumers feel that a large department store like Walmart is a safe place to shop for household needs. However, when you take the time to consider all the potential safety concerns that can arise in these stores that are larger than a football field, you become more open to the concept of suffering a back injury while in a Walmart. The huge racks and shelving systems used to store inventory overhead, the flooring surfaces that are mostly smooth and can be very slippery when wet, and the countless items that can fall to the floor and create tripping hazards often account for the many injury incidents in these stores that result in back injuries to customers. As you shop in your local Walmart, please be aware of these common issues that could result in you suffering a back injury:

• Drinks or water spilled on the floor and not properly mopped up
• Liquid inventory items that fall from the shelf and spill onto the floor but are not swiftly cleaned up
• Water lines, hoses, or pipes that are damaged and leak onto the floor, creating a slip and fall hazard
• Malfunctioning plumbing fixtures that flood floors
• Clogged drains that allow water to back up onto the floor and create slip and fall hazards
• Litter and debris left on the floor or that has fallen from an overly full trashcan
• Damaged or uneven flooring surfaces
• Missing or saturated floor mats at the store entrance or other commonly moist areas
• Poorly marked or unmarked transitions from one elevation to another, such as steps or ramps
• Unmarked or poorly marked transitions from one flooring surface to another

Damaged or missing safety handrails at steps or ramps

If you have suffered an injury incident in a Walmart that resulted in a back injury, please contact the expert legal team at Normandie Law Firm today. Our staff will help you understand your rights as the victim of a personal injury and how to hold the appropriate party accountable for the harm caused to you due to their negligence.

Was My Back Injury Caused By Walmart Negligence?
When you are in any public store like Walmart, the owners of the store and the staff are legally obligated to follow the same laws of premises liability as the owner of a private property. These laws were created to protect the safety of patrons in the space and provide a constant protocol to inspect for and correct safety issues that can occur in public and private spaces. The obligation of the staff about this practice is called duty of care. When the staff fails to follow the guidelines of premises liability and meet their duty of care, they can be deemed negligent in their duty of care. This must occur for an injury victim to have grounds to file a personal injury lawsuit against Walmart because the staff failed to maintain the space in the required safe and hazard-free condition.

How Much Does Walmart Pay For A Back Injury?
If you suffer a back injury while at Walmart, you will want to know how much they will pay if the injuries were caused by staff negligence. However, the first piece of information you need to understand is that there are no predetermined compensation amounts awarded by the court to personal injury victims. Instead, each case is carefully reviewed, and the losses and expenses incurred by the injury victim are used to establish the compensation they receive.

Working with your Normandie Law Firm injury lawyer, you will gather all the documentation to confirm the losses and expenses you face because of the back injuries sustained in the Walmart store due to staff negligence or lack of duty of care. The items that are most often used in this process of valuation include but are not always limited to:

• The cost of all current and projected medical care related to the back injuries sustained at Walmart, including any emotional care to address the trauma and stress of the incident
• The cost of all legal services related to the preparation, filing, and litigation of the Walmart back injury lawsuit
• The cost to replace any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the injury incident at Walmart
• Any lost wages if the harm suffered at Walmart prevented you from working at your regular job until you were fully healed

How Long Do I Have To Take Legal Action Against Walmart?
Personal injury victims are given two years from the date of the injury incident to pursue legal action by filing a lawsuit with the court. If the case is not filed with the court in the time provided, the victim loses the right to seek compensation for their losses and expenses after the time limit has expired. In addition, it should be known that it can be very difficult to secure added time to file a claim once the original two-year time limit has expired. Please reach out to Normandie Law Firm today to discuss the facts of your case and the time remaining to take legal action against Walmart for the back injuries you sustained in their store due to staff negligence.

No Upfront Legal Fees
When you hire Normandie Law Firm to handle your Walmart back injury lawsuit, we never get paid until the case is completed and you have the compensation that includes funds to cover your legal costs and other expenses. In addition, if the team at Normandie Law Firm fails to win your case and deliver that much-needed compensation, you owe the firm nothing for the time and investment made to prepare and litigate the lawsuit. Please reach out to Normandie Law Firm today to learn more about this very viable option to resolve the financial issues created by your Walmart back injury incident.
