Slip and Fall Accidents at Walmart

Slip and fall accidents are among the most common types of personal injury accidents. They can occur anywhere – including stores like Walmart. Slip and fall accidents are associated with a number of hazards throughout a premise, including some of the following:

• Wet floors
• Spilled products
• Leaking air conditioners, refrigerators, or freezers, for instance
• Slippery surfaces
• Littered floors
• Recently mopped/waxed floors

Any of the hazards listed above can potentially result in a slip and fall incident. Victims that experience slip and fall accidents can suffer a number of injuries. Some of the injuries that are often associated with slip and falls include the following: head injuries (including traumatic brain injuries), neck injuries, back injuries, spinal cord injuries, hip injuries, shoulder injuries, knee injuries, fractures, sprains/strains, scrapes/bruises, and lacerations, for instance.

Without a doubt, slip and fall accidents – regardless of the specific cause of the incident – can result in significant harm. If you or a member of your family experienced a Walmart slip and fall accident, you should seek legal assistance immediately to learn more about your right to sue.

Understanding Premise Liability and Your Right to Sue

Could you sue for a Walmart slip and fall accident? Based on the concept of premise liability, you could have the right to sue. Based on premise liability, all property owners owe their guests a duty of care – a duty to keep their premises clear of any hazards or dangerous conditions. This means that property owners must inspect their premises thoroughly to be able to identify and address any hazards or dangerous conditions present throughout the property. Property owners can fail to do this, however; they breach their duty of care and essentially put their guests at risk of injury. When a guest suffers harm associated with a breached duty of care (such as the failure to keep the premises free of any slip hazards), the property owner could be liable. This means that affected guests could sue the property owner. That is, you could sue Walmart for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered due to a slip and fall accident. If you are interested in learning more about the concept of premise liability and your right to sue for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered in a slip and fall accident at a Walmart, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm today

You Could be Eligible to Recover Compensation

Without a doubt, you and your family could be eligible to recover compensation after a Walmart slip and fall incident. What could you be eligible to receive? How much compensation could you be awarded? The specific type and amount of compensation that you could be eligible to receive will always be based on the details surrounding the incident; therefore, claimants are encouraged to speak with an experienced attorney to learn more about the type and amount of compensation that you are eligible to recover.

Although every slip and fall injury claim is different, claimants could recover compensation for some of the following:

• Medical costs
• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of consortium
• Funeral and burial expenses
• Property damage
• Punitive damages
• Attorney’s fees

As aforementioned, the type and amount of compensation that you could be eligible to receive is strictly based on the details surrounding your claim; therefore, you should discuss the potential value of your claim with a slip and fall lawyer immediately. When you allow the experts at our firm to handle your claim, you can be certain that our lawyers will aggressively fight for your right to recover the compensation to which you are entitled.

What if Walmart is Denying Your Claim?

Immediately after the slip and fall accident, you likely reported the incident to Walmart and cooperated with them to attempt to come to a resolution. It is likely that Walmart outright denied any liability for your accident; however, not all is lost. Even if Walmart attempts to deny liability, the appropriate legal process could prove that the store owner is liable for the incident and the harm that you or a member of your family suffered. If Walmart is denying your claim, you should explore your legal options and actually prepare to file a lawsuit.

What should you do? Consider some of the recommendations listed below:

• Gather photos of the injuries sustained in the incident
• Gather photos of the scene of the incident (including photos of the hazard that caused the incident)
• Gather all relevant medical records
• Gather video footage that captured the incident
• Gather witness contact information
• Gather copies of all reports made to the store owner regarding the incident
• Seek legal assistance immediately to start the legal process against Walmart

File Your Claim Quickly

All injury claims are subject to a statute of limitations which determines the total length of time that claimants have to sue. If claimants fail to file their claims on time, they could lose their right to sue entirely. How long do you have to file your slip and fall claim against Walmart? In California, slip and fall claims are subject to a two-year statute of limitations; however, it is possible for exceptions to apply which could pause the applicable deadline. To ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the deadline that applies to your slip and fall claim against Walmart, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm today.
