Las Vegas Personal Injury Attorney | Moss Berg Injury Law

Grocery Store Accident Attorney

Some of the most common types of slip and fall accidents occur in grocery stores. These cases can be difficult to win, but with the right attorney, you can maximize your chances of recovery. In Nevada, grocery stores are held to a higher standard than a typical business owner to protect the public from slipping hazards because these accidents occur so often. For example, failure to clean up a spilled liquid or to place floor mats in the produce section of the store could result in liability.

The Federal Food and Drug Administration, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and a number of other state and federal government agencies regulate supermarkets. To decrease injuries, supermarket insurance companies also closely monitor their stores’ safety features.

Even though supermarkets conduct frequent inspections to make sure all areas of the store (including the parking lot) are safe, injuries, ranging from mild to severe, still happen.

The most common causes of injuries in grocery stores include:

• 1 – Cuts from damaged grocery cartsGrocery Store Accident Attorney• 2 – Improperly positioned or missing entrance and exit floor mats
• 3 – Slippery floors from leaks at produce and refrigerated sections
• 4 – Faulty entrance and exit doors
• 5 – Items falling from grocery store shelves
• 6 – Aisle obstructions from boxes, pallets, and food
• 7 – Cracked and uneven outside pavement (usually in the parking lot)
• 8 – Food poisoning from out-of-date products and rotten food

Duty of Care

In all 50 U.S. states, grocery stores are under what’s called “duty of care.” This means that they have a legal obligation to make their premises safe from any and all “reasonably forseeable” harm. For example, if an employee leaves some cleaning solution on the floor and a customer slips and gets injured, that is considered forseeable harm. But, if there is a tornado and a customer gets hurt while in the store, that’s unforseeable.

Whether locally or corporate-owned, when grocery store personnel fail to protect their customers, they’ve broken their duty of care to the customer and they become liable for the customer’s damages, including doctors bills, expenses for medicines, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

5 stars in every aspect for Marcus and his team! I've had an ongoing case for close to 2 years after I was in a bad car accident. I was recommend to Marcus from a close friend, and contacted him right away. Marcus and his team did a thorough consultation with me, clearly explained the process, and got me the care that I needed after my accident. The team always stayed in touch with me to see how my treatment was going and that I was happy with the care that I was receiving. They found me specialists that were on my side of town, making the frequent medical visits I needed easier on me. Reine was great about texting and calling me frequently to give me updates and check in with me. I felt like I was in great hands throughout this entire process. Marcus was able to negotiate an amazing settlement for me without having to go through the hassle of a trial! Don't think twice about using Marcus and his team. They are professional, thorough, and have excellent communication with their clients. They are the real deal!!!! Many, many thanks for the great care and service through a difficult time in my life!

Moss Berg Lawyers is the best in town. I had an accident last October. 2021.They kept me updated throughout the case. The paralegals were texting me letting me know what’s happening. They fought for me until the end, they didn’t accept just any offer they fought until they were able to get the right offer that I should get! I have NO regrets coming to them on my case . I will always tell my friends about Moss Berg lawyers! How Awesome they are! Thank you so much to all the staff, from the Secretaries to the paralegals to the lawyers I greatly appreciate you! They took great care of me during this stressful time!
