This weekend when you are headed to the grocery store you may just start to look at the store differently. The grocery store is a place where accidents are much more prone then in any other type of store.
While slip and fall injuries certainly happen at other types of stores, the grocery store has a variety of ways that you could find yourself prone to injury. What may look like an innocent asile may turn out to be a place where you can easily hurt yourself.
Take for instance the produce department. In the produce department all it takes is a few small blueberries to trickle down off the pile and on to the floor. If you don’t see these pesky little berries on the ground, you just may be in for an accident.
A trip to the juice/soda aisle could present a messier chance for you to slip and fall. If a sticky bottle of soda falls off the shelf and onto the floor in front of you, you could be in for a long fall.
The frozen food section is another area that could cause you problems. While it may seem like everything is packaged neatly and a slip and fall injury is less likely, all it takes is a package of frozen peas to get punctured and it could be like you’re walking on marbles.
No matter how it happens, the grocery store is a place where slip and fall injuries do occur and can cause serious damage. While shopping you should be on the lookout for spills and avoid them at all costs.
If you or a loved one have been injured as a result of an accident at the grocery store, you may need an attorney to represent you. Contact our office immediately and we can conduct an investigation of your case.
