How people are injured at Walmart

Any any big box or retail store there are many ways in which negligence could play a role in injuries to both employees or customers. Here are just a few:

  • Slip and fall injuries
  • Parking lot accidents
  • Car accidents
  • Assault

Slip and fall injuries and trip and fall injuries are basically injuries which occur due to someone slipping or tripping and falling. Walmart has a responsibility to safely maintain, inspect and oversee their premises. For example, if there is water on the floor of an aisle or in a bathroom that someone does not see and they slip on it they can be severely injured in the accident. A bruised knee will likely not merit a personal injury claim but these incidents can be very serious and result in back injuries, brain injuries, throat injuries, neck injuries, pelvis injuries, and more.

Parking lot accidents can be someone tripping over something in the parking lot, a car accident, or a pedestrian hit while entering the store. If the store knew about or should have known about damage in the parking lot they can be held liable for injures resulting from this negligence. And of course other drivers which cause car accidents and pedestrian accidents can be held liable for injuries they caused. This is very general information; there are often many aspects to cases which occur in parking lots which need to be run by an experienced injury attorney.

Los Angeles area Walmart stores can be held liable in assault cases if they created a dangerous condition, knew of the dangerous condition and did not act to fix the problem, or should have known of the dangerous condition and did not act to fix the problem.

Other injuries at Walmart

There are over 300 Walmart stores throughout California and other injuries include injuries from shopping carts, forklifts, and boxes which fall from shelves on to people, these are common Black Friday injuries for overcrowded stores.
