Causes of Supermarket Accidents

Supermarket accidents can be caused by several different hazards that we may not even realize are present while shopping. Unfortunately, when supermarket staff or management is negligent, shoppers can become seriously injured. A supermarket requires constant attention to any issues that may arise so they can be fixed before anyone gets hurt. Some of the many causes of supermarket accidents may include the following:

  • Spills
  • Outdoor elements
  • Loose produce
  • Parking lot conditions
  • Falling products
  • Poorly placed floor mats
  • Unattended items and debris on the floor

What should I do after an accident?

If you find yourself involved in a supermarket accident, there are a few critical steps to take. First, seek immediate medical attention. It is crucial that you have a medical professional document your injuries. Additionally, before you leave the store, you should try and take photos and videos of the conditions that caused you to become injured. Additionally, you should notify the store manager of the accident so they are not surprised to learn you are filing a claim. If there were any witnesses to the accident, be sure to obtain their contact information so they can corroborate your story for legal purposes later. Collecting as much information as you can about the accident is essential for fulfilling the burden of proof. Finally, you should swiftly contact an experienced New Jersey personal injury attorney, as you must file your claim within two years of the date of the accident, in accordance with New Jersey’s statute of limitations. If you fail to meet this deadline, you will most likely lose your right to pursue damages.
