Hobby Lobby Slip And Fall Lawsuit

Many victims of a slip and fall injury are unaware of the time limit to file a claim if they choose to take legal action. The Statute of Limitations is the law defining how long a victim is given to file their case with the court system. While the amount of time given to a victim can vary based on the legal matter in the case, in all instances, once the Statute of Limitations expires, the victim is permanently stripped of their right to seek justice via a lawsuit. Any claim filed after the time limit will be immediately rejected by the court.

In cases involving a slip and fall injury at a Hobby Lobby location, victims are given two years from the date of the incident to have their case in the hands of the court. It is also critical to consider that your legal team at DTLA Law Group will need time to gather information and statements from witnesses and prepare your case to be filed with the court. So, it is best to contact the office of DTLA Law Group as soon as possible. This wise step will allow you the most time possible to decide if you will file a Hobby Lobby slip and fall lawsuit or decline to take legal action.  

Sadly, most of the safety concerns that result in a patron suffering a slip and fall injury at Hobby Lobby could easily be avoided if the staff were dedicating more time to store inspections and preventing common and easily remedied issues such as:

• Merchandise that is knocked to the floor but not picked up and replaced on the shelves
• Liquids leaking from bottles, jugs, or cartons on the shelves create a hazard.
• Craft products that are knocked to the floor and spill, such as glitter, tiny beads, or other small items that could create unstable footing
• Drinks or food that is spilled but not properly cleaned up
• Damaged water lines, faulty hoses, clogged drains, or malfunctioning plumbing fixtures that are leaking onto the floor
• Floor mats that are saturated and oozing water onto the floor
• Damaged or missing floor mats
• Water, snow, or wet debris that is tracked into the store but was not properly cleaned up
• Damp floors that were recently mopped but do not display any warning signs to alert shoppers of the added slip and fall hazard

If you have suffered an injury due to any of these safety concerns or others in a Hobby Lobby store, please contact DTLA Law Group immediately to discuss how you could be owed compensation for your injuries.

Unfortunately, many of the victims of a Hobby Lobby slip and fall suffer severe injuries. The proximity of shelves with sharp edges and corners, the hooks used to hang small merchandise, the large boxes, and hard concrete floors all contribute to many serious injuries, such as:

• Fractured or broken bones
• Severe lacerations, puncture wounds, or contusions
• Injuries to the back, neck, or spinal cord
• Damage to the soft connective tissue of joints or a complete joint dislocation
• Injuries to internal organs or internal bleeding
• Head injuries that could include a skull fracture, concussion, or traumatic brain injury

If you suffer a slip and fall accident at Hobby Lobby, seek immediate medical care and a complete evaluation to ensure that any harm you suffered is quickly diagnosed and promptly treated. Then, contact DTLA Law Group to learn more about getting the compensation owed to you for your injuries.

Duty of care is part of premises liability law that was created to ensure the safety of anyone in a private or public place. The guidelines in duty of care explain what is required of property owners or their staff to ensure the safety of others at the property. The care required is defined as what the average prudent person would provide in a similar situation.

For example, if you see water or trash on the floor, you clean the area to ensure that no one suffers an accident. In addition, if you find a part of the flooring that is damaged, you repair it or place warning signs if the issue cannot be immediately corrected. These are the same actions that must be taken by the staff at Hobby Lobby under the guidelines of duty of care. While many people see these acts as common sense, they are also a legal obligation.

If the staff at Hobby Lobby fails to meet the minimum level of care required under duty of care, they are said to be negligent in their duty of care. In addition, if that negligence is later found to have caused or contributed to someone suffering a slip and fall injury, then Hobby Lobby could be liable for the victim’s losses and expenses created by the accident and their injuries. Please don’t hesitate to contact DTLA Law Group today to discuss the facts of your case with a skilled personal injury attorney to determine if you have grounds for a Hobby Lobby slip and fall lawsuit to get the compensation needed to cover your medical bills and other expenses.

• Your lost wages if you are unable to work until you are fully recovered or if you miss work to attend medical treatment for your injuries
