Dolly Cart Trip And Fall Injury Lawyer

Shopping at big box stores and large department stores would be very difficult if there were no dolly carts to allow customers to transport large items from the shelves to the registers and then to their vehicles. These large, low-to-the-ground carts are significantly larger than shopping carts and make it easy to gather all the larger items you need when shopping at Home Depot, Lowes, Menards, Target, Walmart, Best Buy, Costco, or other stores. However, when the store staff does not take care when storing and managing the use of doily carts, there is an increased potential for severe harm to guests.

Most shoppers like using dolly carts because the platform is low and makes it easy to place large items on the cart. However, with only a single side having a handle, these open carts can be difficult to see when they are abandoned in an aisle or stored among various stacks of merchandise or free-standing displays. The resulting dolly cart trip and fall injury incident can be costly and very painful for the victim.

Dolly Cart Trip And Fall Injuries Can Be Severe
Sadly, most people feel that a trip and fall inside a store is not likely to result in serious harm. However, that is not true in many cases. The sharp edges and corners of the dolly cart, the nearby shelving, the concrete floor, and many other potential hazards can result in multiple severe injuries that could include:

• Back, neck, and spinal cord injuries
• Damage to the delicate facial skin, eyes, ears, nose, or mouth
• Broken or fractured bones
• Joint dislocations or damage to the connective tissue of joints
• Severe lacerations or puncture wounds
• Damage to internal organs and internal bleeding
• Soft tissue or nerve damage
• Skull fractures, brain bleeds, and other traumatic brain injuries

If you have become the victim of a dolly cart trip and fall incident, seek immediate medical care to evaluate and diagnose any injuries you have suffered. The shock of suffering a fall will often mask the pain of injuries and can result in a more lengthy and painful recovery when they are not properly treated as quickly as possible. Then, contact Kenmore Law Group to learn more about securing the compensation that is owed to you if your injuries were the result of staff negligence.

Understanding Duty Of Care
All property owners must ensure the safety of guests. In the case of a store, the staff share the obligation to properly maintain the space to protect the safety of shoppers. Premises liability law dictates the requirements of the staff when completing maintenance and repair tasks throughout the property. Duty of care defines the level of action the staff must take when a hazard is discovered in the store or is reported to the staff by a guest.

It states that the staff must take at least the same level of action as would be provided by the average prudent person in a similar situation. For example, you would not leave a small stool or bench in a hallway in your home. If you saw one there, you would move it to a safe place where it would not be a trip and fall hazard for guests in your home. That is the same level of care that is expected of the store staff if they see a dolly cart left in a hazardous location or in a place that is difficult to see and could cause a patron to trip and fall. If the staff fails to act promptly when seeing a dolly cart safety hazard, they can be deemed negligent in their duty of care.

Furthermore, if that staff negligence is later found to have caused or contributed to a patron’s suffering a dolly cart trip and fall injury, the store can be liable for the victim’s losses and expenses due to their injuries. If you think staff negligence was a factor in your dolly cart trip and fall injuries, please reach out to the seasoned team at Kenmore Law Group to discuss the case.

How Much Is The Average Dolly Cart Trip And Fall Injury Lawsuit Worth?
Personal injury victims should know that there are no predetermined compensation amounts awarded for injuries. Instead, each case is carefully evaluated, and the actual expenses and losses incurred by the victim are used to calculate the compensation sought via the lawsuit. This process ensures that every victim is fully compensated for any expenses incurred because of someone else’s negligence.

Working with your Kenmore Law Group dolly cart trip and fall injury lawyer, you will compile all the documentation verifying your allowable expenses which typically include but are not always limited to:

• All current and projected future medical costs related to the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of the dolly cart trip and fall injuries
• The replacement cost of any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the dolly cart trip and fall injury incident
• All legal fees related to preparing, filing, and litigating your dolly cart trip and fall injury lawsuit
• Any lost wages if the injuries suffered in the dolly cart trip and fall prevent you from working at your regular job until fully recovered or if you miss work to receive essential medical treatment for your injuries

In cases that involve severe injuries with a lengthy recovery time, victims can see added compensation for their pain and suffering. Because this is not a documented amount, your Kenmore Law Group legal team will provide guidance in selecting a reasonable amount. They will refer to similar cases that were recently resolved to ensure that you are fairly compensated for the pain and suffering you endured due to your dolly cart trip and fall injuries.

How Long Do I Have To File A Dolly Cart Trip And Fall Injury Lawsuit?
The Statute of Limitations for all personal injury cases such as a trip and fall is two years. The victim must have the claim filed with the court by the time the two years have passed, or they will lose the right to seek compensation for their losses due to that incident. It is also vital to know that minimal exceptions would provide the victim with added time to file a lawsuit once the Statute Of Limitations has expired. Please make time today to contact Kenmore Law Group to discuss the time estimated to prepare and file your claim to ensure that you do not miss this opportunity because the time limit has passed.

No Added Stress From Upfront Legal Fees
When you work with the skilled and caring team at Kenmore Law Group, you will be pleased to know that we never charge any upfront fees or expenses when hired to prepare your case. We know that personal injury victims face monetary hardships, and charging upfront fees could mean a victim does not pursue their lawsuit to secure the compensation they deserve. Our payment policy is only to get paid for our services and investment in your case after it is resolved and you have the compensation needed to cover your legal costs and other expenses.
