Slip and Fall at a MedMen Store Injury Attorney

There was a time when marijuana and cannabis products were illegal in most jurisdictions. However, the laws have greatly evolved over time, starting with the legalization of prescribed marijuana. Then, in 2018, the laws in California allowed for the legal use of pot for recreational purposes. With that came an increase in marijuana dispensaries, including MedMen, which has several locations throughout Los Angeles.

When you walk into a MedMen store, you expect friendly and courteous service from professional sales reps. In addition; you want to have a shopping experience that’s free of pain suffering. Unfortunately, you may get a lot more than you bargained for, and not in a good way if you fall down and injure yourself on store property.

Did you sustain bodily harm from a slip and fall at a MedMen marijuana dispensary location? Our legal team is ready to educate you on your rights and help you determine the best way to move forward. Contact our MedMen slip and fall attorneys to schedule a free case evaluation.

Wrongful Death Claims for a Slip and Fall Incident

Based on statistics by the World Health Organization, fall-related accidents claim the lives of approximately 684,000 people every year. Deaths normally follow a severe injury, like bleeding in the brain, damage to internal organs, and spinal cord damage. As someone who lost a loved one to a slip and fall accident, you may be interested in filing a wrongful death lawsuit.

Wrongful death benefits are meant to provide coverage for expenses that are associated with the victim’s passing. This includes projected, or future losses, like the income they would have earned in order to support their family. Damages you may be entitled to include:

• Burial / funeral costs
• Cost of medical bills up until the date of death
• Loss of consortium
• Loss of expected savings and benefits
• Pain and suffering
• Cost of hiring an attorney

Deadline for a Slip and Fall Accident Claim

With very few exceptions, your deadline to sue for a slip and fall incident is 2 years from when you suffered an injury. So, that generally gives you 2 years from the accident date to file an accident claim with MedMen’s insurance company. If, on the other hand, you are filing a claim for wrongful death benefits, the time limit is 2 years from when the decedent passed away.

Please don’t delay in contacting our office and initiating a claim as soon as possible. Otherwise, you will lose the right to any of the damages you are owed from the defendant, even if it’s abundantly clear that they are at fault for the accident.
