Common Causes of Supermarket and Shopping Mall Accidents

At Gelman Law, LLC, we can help you seek financial recovery when you have been injured in a supermarket or shopping mall accident that was caused by:

• Slip and fall/trip and fall accidents – Slip or trip and falls represent one of the most common types of accidents that happen at supermarkets and shopping malls. Supermarkets and other stores are prone to have spills or leaks on the floor, or floors may become slippery due to recent mopping or waxing or due to snow and ice being tracked in from outside. Tripping accidents can also happen due to wires, cords, or objects being strewn across walking paths, or by broken or uneven pavement on sidewalks and in parking lots. 
• Crush/entanglement accident – Customers may get crushed or entangled by electronic or motorized equipment at a supermarket or other retail store. Automatic doors, freezer doors and lids, and conveyor belts all pose possible hazards for customers to suffer a crush or entanglement accident.
• Falling object accident – Customers can also be injured by objects falling on top of them, whether that be merchandise falling onto a customer (especially if a customer has to reach up to a high shelf to retrieve an item), or even by shelving or other product displays collapsing or falling onto a customer. 
• Elevator/escalator accident – Many shopping malls and supermarkets are equipped with moving walkways, escalators, and elevators, which can seriously injure shoppers when these types of equipment malfunction due to defective design or installation or due to negligent maintenance.
• Food poisoning – Supermarkets can injure customers by selling food contaminated with parasites or bacteria. This can occur with ready-to-eat products prepared in-store without proper food safety practices, or by-products being stored outside proper keeping temperatures and being sold past expiration dates. 
• Assaults or other violent/criminal activity – Unfortunately, customers may also be injured by other customers or employees who engage in violent or criminal activity. Supermarkets and shopping malls may be held liable for injuries caused by assaults or other criminal behavior when they lack reasonable security measures based on the circumstances, such as adequate lighting, surveillance cameras, or security staff.
