Walmart Accident Attorney in Miami, FL

You know how big Walmart stores are, particularly the supercenters. You can find everything from groceries and clothes to toys and TVs. There are plenty of safety protocols in place for store managers and employees to follow, but if they fail to do that, you could get hurt.

• Slip and fall accidents due to spills are some of the most common ways people get injured in stores. Sure, spills will happen, but they should be taken care of immediately by employees. When any part of the store is mopped, the appropriate “wet floor” signs need to be put up so customers know to avoid that area.
• Obstructions in customer walk areas can be a hazard. Whether it is cardboard boxes left out after stocking or store items that have not been put away, if a customer trips over them, they could be injured.
• Sharp objects should be properly stored in packages, but sometimes it is the product displays and store shelving that has sharp edges. This could pose a hazard for customers.
• Hazardous materials such as cleaning supplies, paints, and other chemicals need to be properly secured so children cannot get into them.

Outside The Store

Walmart should also ensure the parking lots are free from hazards such as broken curbs, loose shopping carts, and uneven surfaces that people could fall over. Also, there should be adequate surveillance around the store and security at night. Many Walmart locations are open 24 hours a day, so their customers’ safety should be ensured at all times. Any suspicious activity in a parking lot should be managed by Walmart security.

If You Get Hurt

If you get hurt at a Walmart, your medical bills could pile up fast. This can be scary, especially if you have to miss work due to your injuries. If you lose income, your ability to provide for your family goes away. We don’t think it’s fair that someone else’s mistake should set you back financially. If you need a Walmart accident lawyer, the Dante Law Firm is standing by to help you.

Be aware that Walmart handles all claims of injury in-house and not with an insurance company. Because of this, they usually push back harder to attempt to pay out a lower settlement.
