FALLS IN A RETAIL STORE OR MALL

Retail stores can pose a serious danger when those who own and maintain the property are careless. But when you’ve become a victim, The Law Offices Of Gerald Marcus can help you get your life back on track.

Slip and Falls on Business Properties

What makes accidents and injuries like slip and falls so common at retail stores? Large department stores see a good deal of foot traffic on a daily basis.

In fact, slip and falls like yours “are common causes of injuries in retail stores,” the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) reported.

The employees of these stores must be attentive in monitoring the premises for dangers. They must block off or fix safety hazards promptly.

But sometimes safety isn’t the retailer’s priority. Negligence may be more common in a store that is understaffed, or that has lax practices when it comes to checking the premises and promptly taking care of safety hazards.

Causes of Slip and Falls at Malls and Retail Stores

While fall accidents can happen anywhere a property owner negligently allows a safety hazard to exist, they are more common in some areas of the store than others.

Our Los Angeles slip and fall lawyers have seen many accidents happen in what we in the legal industry call “known problem areas.” These are places where slip, trip, and fall hazards are unfortunately common – and so, they’re places property owners should monitor closely.

Mall and retail store slip and fall accidents occur most often when shoppers encounter conditions such as:

-Slippery entryways

-Wet floors in restrooms

-Out of place or tattered carpets and floor mats

-Escalators or elevators with walking surfaces that are damaged, defective, or slippery

-Improperly secured displays, advertising signage, shelves, and racks

-Potholes, cracked curbs, and damaged sidewalks in store parking lots

-Dangerous buildups of ice on store walkways and in parking lots
