Northeast Philadelphia Premises Liability Lawyers Discuss Common Causes of Mall and Grocery Store Accidents

There are several common causes for injurious mall and grocery store accidents that our Northeast Philadelphia premises liability lawyers have seen over time. All of these types of accidents may have resulted from the negligence of and employee, manager, business owner, or property owner of a mall, grocery store, or other retailer.

Slip and fall accidents. The most common type of accident on mall or grocery store property is a slip and fall. These may seem innocuous, but can sometimes lead to traumatic injuries including brain injuries, spinal injuries, paralysis, and more. Businesses are responsible for reasonably maintaining a safe, dry walking surface for customers.

Accidents caused by negligent securityNegligent security is another way of stating that the safety of shoppers of patrons was not accommodated by appropriate security measures. This mostly includes inadequate or non-existing security guards, lack of reaction to previous acts of violence, or inaction by security to a present and clear threat to the safety of others.

Accidents caused by inadequate lightingInsufficient lighting can lead to a dangerous situation for a variety of reasons. Poorly lit areas may embolden criminal activity, lead to slip and fall accidents, or even lead to a pedestrian motor vehicle accident in a dark parking lot.

Levittown, PA Mall and Grocery Store Injury Attorneys Find Fault

In order to successfully recover compensation through a personal injury claim for your mall or grocery store accident injuries, our Levittown attorneys will need to find fault with a negligent or reckless party. With accidents in public areas such as grocery stores, malls and shopping centers, here are some examples of negligent behavior:

Example 1: A customer spills liquid on a grocery store floor. An employee, manager, or owner takes notice or is informed of this spill, which has caused a hazardous situation. Rather than correcting the situation by cleaning the floor or at a minimum posting a wet floor sign, they choose to ignore the dangerous conditions. A patron of the store is injured after slipping and falling on this spill as a result of the negligence of the grocery store representative.

Example 2: An employee is stocking high shelves without the proper ladder, equipment, or another employee to assist. He does not put up a sign or other warning to customers to alert them to a potentially dangerous situation. As a patron walks by, the employee drops an object from the top shelf, striking the patron and causing a head injury. The accident and the resulting injuries are a direct result of the negligence of the employee.
