Why Slips and Falls Happen in Grocery Stores
Grocery stores are legally required to maintain safe premises, but employees don’t always clean up spills quickly or place warning signs where needed. Causes of slip and fall injuries in stores include:
- Wet floors from spills or recent cleaning
- Leaking coolers or refrigerators
- Loose or curled floor mats
- Cluttered aisles or obstructed walkways
- Worn or broken floor tiles
These hazards can create dangerous conditions, especially for older adults or those with limited mobility.
What to Do After a Fall
If you’re hurt in a grocery store, take these important steps:
- Notify store staff immediately and ask for an incident report.
- Photograph the scene, including the hazard and the surrounding area.
- Seek medical care right away — even if injuries seem minor.
- Avoid giving statements to store representatives or insurers before speaking with a lawyer.
A successful claim requires you to demonstrate that the store’s negligence directly caused your injuries. This may involve evidence that staff failed to correct a known hazard or should have discovered it through routine inspection.
