With thousands of customers encountering millions of hazards, slip and fall accidents occur at Walmart stores on a regular basis. Walmart - like any business - has a duty to inspect its premises and make them safe for customers. Store owners who fail to do so can be legally responsible (“liable”) for compensating injuries which occur as a result of their negligence. After any slip and fall accident, injury victims must protect their legal rights. Contact Gerson & Schwartz today to schedule your free consultation with an experienced personal injury lawyer. For decades, Miami accident victims have trusted Gerson & Schwartz to protect their legal interests during the difficult recovery period.
Common Accidents at WalmartWhile going to pick up a few things at Walmart may seem like a relatively low-risk activity, in reality, there are many ways in which a serious accident can happen while on a shopping trip. Here are some of the most common:
Some accident victims may not realize that they have a limited time in which to file a claim for compensation for their injuries. A statute of limitation is a law which helps facilitate the timely filing of lawsuits by prohibiting claims from being filed after a specified length of time. Thus, injury victims can lose their right to compensation entirely if they do not file a lawsuit within the statute of limitation.
The statute of limitation which applies to a particular case depends upon the type of claim which is being filed. In Florida:
A personal injury attorney will both help you determine which statute of limitation applies to your case, and also ensure that your claim is filed before the deadline.
