The Risk of Slip and Fall Accidents at CVS

When we are out shopping at our favorite CVS store, are we thinking of all the different ways in which we could suffer harm while on their premises? For the average person, the possibility of suffering a personal injury accident while shopping is nonexistent. However, trash on the floors, spilled liquids, wet floors, slippery floors, and misplaced weather mats could prove risky. From the moment that you step out of your car and onto the parking lot to the moment you walk onto the sidewalk and enter the store to do your shopping, you could suffer a slip and fall accident. When we go to stores like CVS, we are there to shop – not to evaluate all the different hazards that could harm us. Without a doubt, there are plenty of obvious hazards that might make us feel uneasy but most of us will fail to identify the majority of hazards in CVS and other stores.

The Most Common Injuries Associated with Slip and Fall Accidents

Many people mistakenly associate slip and fall accident with only mild injuries, such as sprains, strains, scrapes, and bruises. Without a doubt, these are all potential injuries suffered in slip and fall accidents. However, slip and fall accidents can also result in serious injuries. Some of the common injuries associated with slip and fall accidents include the following:

• Arm injuries
• Brain injuries
• Head injuries
• Hip injuries
• Knee injuries
• Lacerations
• Leg injuries
• Neck and back injuries
• Pelvic injuries
• Spinal cord injuries

In many cases, the injuries suffered are so severe that it takes a significant length of time for victims to be able to recover from their injuries. Sometimes, it is impossible to make a full recovery. Survivors of severe slip and fall accidents could be left dealing with permanent and debilitating injuries for the rest of their lives. Undeniably, this could significantly affect the quality of life of the victim and his or her entire family. Depending on the specific harm suffered during the slip and fall accident, victims and their families might have grounds to fight for their right to be compensated.

Other Incidents on the Premises of CVS Locations

Although slip and fall accidents are, by far, among the most common types of personal injury accidents that can occur on any premises, it is very important to acknowledge the other incidents that could occur. Some of these other incidents include the following:

• Assault and battery
• Sexual assault or attempted rape in a CVS parking lot
• Robbery or mugging in the parking lot
• Attack by a homeless person

All of these incidents can be associated with hazards present on the premises, which can include a lack of surveillance, a lack of security, isolated areas, poorly lit areas, poorly trained employees, etc. Whether you were robbed in the parking lot, attacked by a homeless person or mugged in a parking lot, or suffered attempted rape in a CVS parking lot, liability might fall onto CVS. Many people might argue that assault and battery, sexual assault, and robberies or muggings are isolated incidents that a property owner cannot prevent in any way. However, this is not the case. As already mentioned, different hazards present on the premises can contribute to these incidents. It is the duty of the property owner to address said hazards – including the hazards presented by other people on the premises – to prevent any harm to guests.

Understanding Liability for CVS Slip and Fall Accidents

Is CVS liable for the harm that you suffered in a slip and fall accident? To understand the answer to this question, you must have a thorough understanding of the four different elements of negligence: duty of care; breach of duty; cause; harm. CVS has a duty of care towards all their customers. They have the duty to keep the premises safe to ensure that their customers do not suffer any type of harm. CVS, their owners, their managers, and their employees have a duty to identify and address all potential hazards. If they ignore the hazards on their premises by failing to identify or failing to address the hazards, they are breaching their duty of care to their customers. A breach of duty could cause an accident, which could result in harm. In instances in which a breach of duty leads to harm, the party who owed a duty of care to the victim can be found negligent. If CVS was negligent and breached their duty of care, resulting in an accident and injuries, they will likely be held liable for all the harm suffered by victims. If you would like to learn more about CVS liability for slip and fall accidents inside CVS stores, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with our experts immediately.

Do You Have the Right to Sue?

Can you sue if you suffered a slip and fall accident in a CVS store? If you suffered a slip and fall accident, you might have grounds to sue – given that the harm that you suffered was a direct result of the negligent actions of a CVS manager or employee? As mentioned above, CVS has a duty of care towards all their customers. They have the duty to ensure that you remain safe while on the premises. Failing to do so can put you and other customers at significant risk of harm. When you are harmed because of a breach of duty, you can pursue a claim on the basis of negligence. If the harm that you suffered is a result of CVS’ negligence, you definitely have the right to sue. If you would like to learn more about this right to pursue a slip and fall claim against CVS, do not hesitate to reach out to the slip and fall lawyers at Downtown L.A. Law Group today.

Your Claim is Subject to a Strict Deadline

All personal injury claims, including slip and fall claims, are subject to deadlines. More specifically, they are subject to a statute of limitations. A statute of limitations establishes the specific length of time that claimants have to pursue their claims. When claimants do not file their claims within the deadline established by the statute of limitations, they could lose their right to sue – and their right to receive compensation. In the state of California, personal injury claims like slip and fall claims are subject to a two-year statute of limitations. Although your claim might be subject to a two-year deadline, the details of your claim might result in an increased or decreased time to take legal action. Because you could lose your right to sue, it is essential that you discuss the statute of limitations that applies to your claim with experts on slip and fall accidents.

Understanding the Important Steps to Take after a Slip and Fall Accident

After falling, our first instinct is to get up. Many of us might try to leave the premises immediately to hide our embarrassment. Undeniably, it is only natural to have such a reaction. However, if we simply get up and leave the store after a slip and fall accident, we could significantly hurt our chances at pursuing a successful claim. Are you willing to lose your right to sue because you failed to take specific actions immediately after your slip and fall accident at CVS? After a slip and fall accident, it can be difficult to think logically. However, the victims of slip and fall accidents should try to do all of the following after their accidents:

• Get the attention of others (other customers, store employees, or store managers)
• Evaluate your injuries (if you are in severe pain, seek emergency attention immediately and avoid any movements)
• Take photos of the scene of your accident (photograph the hazard that caused you to slip)
• Take photos of any visible physical injuries
• Take note of any surveillance cameras that might have captured your accident
• Gather witness information (if anybody witnessed your slip and fall)
• Ensure that a manager or an employee becomes aware of your slip and fall accident
• File an incident report with a store manager (ensure that it is a written report)
• Seek medical attention for the harm that you suffered
• Seek legal assistance for the harm that you suffered

When you follow all the recommended steps above, you are essentially gathering the tools necessary to eventually file a claim against the store liable for the harm that you suffered. At Downtown L.A. Law Group, we understand that sometimes it is impossible to follow the recommended actions listed above. You can trust that our attorneys will handle your claim and gather any missing pieces necessary to reach a successful claim outcome.
