What Causes Slip And Fall Incidents in Walmart Locations In Ventura?
The size of the stores, volume of merchandise, number of shoppers, and being open extended hours seven days a week all contribute to the increased potential of slip and fall injury accidents in the stores. Some of the most common culprits of a slip and fall include:
- Drinks or other liquids that are spilled by shoppers or employees
- Water tracked into the store when the floor mats at the entrance are mission or saturated with water
- Freshly mopped floors that are not properly marked with caution signs
- Water leaking from a damaged water pipe, water fixture, clogged sink, or overflowing toilet
- Leaks from coolers, refrigerators, freezers, or cold food ice display tables
- Melting ice near drink stations or where bags of ice are sold
- Merchandise that has fallen to the floor – the most hazardous being things in glass jars or bottles that create a slippery wet floor and also have shards of broken glass littering the area
- Trash or debris on the floor from pieces of paper to produce that become slip hazards
Sadly, all of these soon to be catastrophes could be avoided if store employees were walking to the store regularly to look for safety concerns and eliminating hazards that are discovered. But in these massive stores, it is a challenge to maintain the entire space in a safe manner with limited staff allocated to cleaning and inspections.
Any Slip And Fall Incident Can Result In Significant Injuries
Unfortunately, not all slip and fall injuries are minor. Some can cause life-altering or even life-threatening injuries at worst or leave the injury victim with lifelong impairment, disability, or constant pain and the need for medical care for the rest of their lives. Some of the most concerning injuries resulting from a Ventura Walmart slip and fall incident include:
- Severe lacerations or puncture wounds requiring stitches or surgery to close and repair the damage
- Broken bones, often in the hands and arms, from trying to reduce the damage caused by the impact of the floor – however, fractured or broken legs, ribs, collarbones, vertebrae, and hips are also common
- Internal organ damage or internal bleeding
- Facial injuries to the nose, mouth, teeth, or eyes
- Head trauma, including a concussion, skull fracture, brain hemorrhage, or traumatic brain injury
These debilitating injuries take their toll on the entire family. In addition, they can result in significant financial hardship with long-term care, and medical treatment becomes necessary for the injury victim.
Can I Sue Walmart?
After suffering injuries from a slip and fall incident in a Ventura Walmart, you are sure to have questions about your ability to file a lawsuit to get compensation for your injuries and losses. The determining factor in many slip and fall cases comes down to the duty of care required by all businesses. Premises liability is the portion of the legal system that dictates the level of care that must be provided for shoppers or the general public in a place like a Walmart store.
The expected level of care regarding safety is that which the average prudent person would provide. And while this sounds very confusing, it is actually pretty simple. For example, if you would mop up spilled water from the floor of your house, then you should be able to expect a Walmart employee to do the same thing. Likewise, if you pick up trash from your hallway floor, you expect a Walmart employee to do the same.
If this basic level of care is not delivered and common hazards are found in the Walmart store, then there is a breach of duty of care. And if that hazard causes someone to be injured, such as in a slip and fall accident, Walmart could be found to be negligent in their duty of care and financially responsible for the injuries and losses caused by their negligence. Establishing negligence is what your Kenmore Law Group Walmart slip and fall lawyer must do to secure the compensation you need.
What Is The Possible Value Of A Ventura Walmart Slip And Fall Lawsuit?
The details of your slip and fall incident and the injuries and losses you suffered will determine the value of your slip and fall lawsuit against Walmart. Some of the specific categories of expenses and losses are:
- The total of your medical bills
- The amount of your legal fees for the lawsuit
- The value of any personal property that was damaged in the fall
- Your lost wages if the injuries you sustained prevented you from working
In some cases, you can also include a dollar amount to represent the pain and suffering you endured due to your injuries. Your Kenmore legal team will assist you in determining a fair amount to include for your pain and suffering.
