Slipped and Fell In A Store In Philadelphia

Philadelphia Store Slip and Fall Accidents

A day out shopping has unfortunately resulted in a slip and fall accident that has left you injured. What should you do now? Even if the accident happened in seemingly ideal conditions, the weather was good and the stores were not crowded, it is best that you contact our team of personal injury attorneys. It is imperative that we work to get your medical bills paid for and to prevent accidents like this from happening again. Our team will investigate the true root cause of the slip and fall and hold the store financially responsible for the accident. Most slip and falls are preventable, and we will find out what exactly caused this incident.

Holding the Store Responsible

The store is at fault for a slip and fall accident. Both the owner of the store and the owner of the property (if the store is leasing the space) need to be held liable for a slip and fall that occurred on the property. While not all falls are preventable, many of them are. Did the store properly safe guard its floors? Were employees properly trained? Did they leave inventory on the floor where it could easily be tripped over?

A simple shopping trip should not cause you pain, suffering, medical bills, or a loss of work. Unfortunately, that can be the case if you do not have a good personal injury lawyer. Our team will ensure the store is held responsible, which will take care of you after the slip and fall.

Frequently, stores neglect their internal aisles, and they also can neglect the parking lot and walkways outside the store. If you can, pay attention to the circumstances around your accident. What was the weather? Were the floors wet? Did the store employees help you?

Any of the above reasons could cause a slip and fall in a store, but that doesn’t mean we should accept that the accident was not preventable. Stores should train their employees on the proper ways to best prevent slips and falls.
Medical Bills and Employment Loss

One of the most traumatizing aspects of a slip and fall accident is dealing with medical bills, insurance claim, and the pain that comes with being injured. If you or a loved one as experienced a personal injury as a result of a store slip and fall, we can help you sort through those legal matters.

You also might find yourself out of work temporarily or permanently. Our team will make sure you are paid for wages you are missing now and also for any future earnings that will be affected by this accident. There are calculators we use to project your future worth. Even if you remain employed, it is possible that you will miss out on higher paying jobs as a result of your slip and fall. That needs to be considered during any legal matters surrounding your slip and fall accident. Even if insurance covers all the medical bills, they will not cover the emotional pain and suffering that you have experienced. You should be compensated for the suffering you are experiencing.

It is possible that you are now doubting the safety of shopping both at this store in the future and other stores like it. We will take care to investigate how often incidents like this happen at that retailer. Nobody should fear running to the market for a few groceries, and we will work to ensure you return to a comfortable lifestyle and freedoms.
