There are a number of things that can go wrong when people fail to perform their duties.
Inadequate Security
Most malls provide security both inside the mall and around the premises outside. This is necessary due to the size of the property and to deter crime. If a mall’s security is understaffed or undertrained, this could lead to dangerous situations. If you are injured because of inadequate mall security, the mall owners should be held liable.
Spills
We know spills are going to happen, especially around the food court. Mall employees should be ready to clean any spill immediately and they should put up “wet floor” signs so patrons know to stay away from a slippery area.
Damaged Equipment
All around the mall, both inside and out, there are railings, benches, trash cans, and other items for people’s convenience. All of these items should be inspected and maintained regularly to ensure that they are safe for people to use. If they are damaged, they could injure customers.
Faulty Displays
There will be plenty of displays around the mall, especially during the holiday seasons. These displays should be built properly. If they are not, they could fall apart and injure customers.
Parking Lot Problems
Parking lots should be well designed and have even pavement that is not cracked. All curbs should be stable. If they aren’t they pose a risk to all mall patrons.
