Store and Mall Accidents

When You Have Been Injured at a Retail Location

Malls, grocery stores and big box retailers see thousands of shoppers a year and a staggering amount of foot traffic. Along with the need to stock ever-increasing amounts of product, maintain the integrity of their premises and provide enough space for shoppers, the owners of retail property are also responsible for maintaining a safe environment for you from the moment you pull into the parking lot until the moment you leave.

If you or a loved one has suffered an injury while visiting a retail location in a store, supermarket or shopping mall, you may be entitled to recover compensation for your injury and associated costs. Contact the Morristown Law Offices of John S. Hoyt to consult with our board-certified trial attorney about whether you have a case to recover compensation for your injuries.

Premises Liability and Slip and Fall Injury

Like other premises liability or slip and fall injury cases, when you have been injured due to the negligence of employees or the poor maintenance of a retail location you may be entitled to a financial award. Even with high volumes of foot traffic, retailers of all kinds must protect the safety of shoppers.

Many retailers, in an eagerness to remain competitive and reduce costs, will hire untrained workers and cut costs on safety initiatives. The results of these decisions can lead to serious injury. Our personal injury lawyer has more than 25 years of litigation experience and a proven track record of success. Contact us when you have suffered a serious impact or fall injury in a retail location. We can help in situations such as:

  • Improper Lighting
  • Lack of Snow Removal in Parking Lots
  • Failure to Sand or Salt
  • Broken Pavement or Poorly Maintained Walkways
  • Slippery Entrances
  • Spilled Product on Floors
  • Falling Product
  • Injury from Employee Driven Machinery
