Nugget Falling Object Incident Lawyer

Sadly, most shoppers have been conditioned to assume that the only hazards found in most stores are trip and fall or slip and fall safety issues. When they are not looking at the items on the shelves, they are scanning the floor for hazards. While this is wise considering the lack of care provided in many stores, it is also necessary to scan the items overhead that could result in severe injuries if they fall on an unsuspecting patron. Common issues to watch for include:

• Ceiling fans that are damaged and could drop pieces or that are coming loose from the mounting hardware attached to the ceiling
• Light fixtures that are damaged or loose and could cause harm if they fall
• WiFi components, security system devices, video cameras, or other electronics that are ceiling or wall-mounted and could fall on unsuspecting shoppers
• Merchandise stacked too high on overhead shelves or haphazardly placed on shelves that could fall on guests
• Free-standing displays that are overloaded, damaged, or poorly built could fall or drop items on unsuspecting patrons

It is also critical for parents to pay added attention to the items that loom over the heads of children. Their small stature makes them susceptible to many falling objects that might be less harmful to an adult. Care should also be taken to monitor items on lower shelving and displays that could fall on feet, legs, ankles, or other body parts and result in severe injuries. If you suffer an injury due to a falling object at Nugget, seek a complete medical evaluation to ensure the best potential outcome possible. Then, please reach out to DTLA Law Group to discuss your ability to seek compensation for the losses and harm you sustained.

Most people are aware, at least on some level, that there are laws requiring property owners to take certain safety precautions. However, they do not understand the extent of these requirements or that they are part of premises liability law. They also do not know that when these obligations are not met, the victim of an injury can often sue the property owner for their losses.

Duty of care defines the level of care that must be delivered by property owners and their staff with regard to guest safety. It states that the owner or their agents must provide at least what the average prudent person would offer in a similar situation. So, think about the action you would take if a clock were about to fall from the wall in your home. You would repair the mounting or remove the clock from the wall to prevent anyone from being hurt. That is what the average person would do and what is required of the Nugget staff.

If they fail to meet this minimum level of care, they are said to be negligent in their duty of care. In addition, if it is later found that the staff’s negligence caused or contributed to the injuries of a guest in the store, Nugget can be held liable for the victim’s losses and harm. Please reach out to DTLA Law Group today if you feel your injuries suffered at Nugget Market could be the result of staff negligence.
