Food Maxx Falling Object Injury Attorney

When you think about your typical grocery shopping experience, you likely never think of looking up at the store’s ceiling. However, if you do, you will see that there are countless items affixed to that surface dozens of feet over your head. Like anything else, the material used to hang or attach those items will eventually fail. Unless the store staff is dedicated to completing floor-to-ceiling safety inspections, the only way these issues are discovered is when something falls on an unsuspecting shopper. So it is wise for all patrons of Food Maxx to scan the entire store for items located overhead that could be primed to fall and cause injuries, such as:

• Damaged or faulty ceiling fans that could fall or drop parts
• Lights or lighting fixtures that are damaged or could be close to falling from the ceiling or high on the wall
• Security system components, video cameras, WiFi equipment, or other pieces of technology that are mounted in the rafters or at the highest point on a wall
• Poorly secured banners, signs, or artwork that could be dangling from the ceiling or hardware attached to the walls
• Items that are stacked too high on free-standing displays or on the top shelf in an aisle could easily fall
• Merchandise that is poorly stocked on any shelf and could fall and injure a foot, leg, ankle, or other body part

Any wall-mounted fixtures such as lights, mirrors, or paper towel or soap dispensers in restrooms

It is common to think of all falling object hazards as being located far above your head. However, it is vital you keep in mind that an item can fall from a much lower location and still cause significant injuries. In addition, the short stature of children makes them more susceptible to severe injuries when an item falls on them. Be sure to seek immediate medical care and a complete evaluation for any injuries caused by falling objects at Food Maxx. Then please call the experts at DTLA Law Group to learn more about how duty of care and premises liability laws could allow you to sue Food Maxx for any harm caused by staff negligence.

Premises liability law applies to all private and public spaces and dictates the care legally required to eliminate safety concerns and promote guest safety. The guidelines detail the steps a property owner and their staff must take to ensure the safety of anyone legally visiting the property. Duty of care goes on to define the level of care or effort that must be taken to correct safety issues that are discovered or reported to the property staff.

Duty of care states that property owners and their staff are obligated to deliver the same level of care or greater than that which would be provided by the average prudent person in a similar situation. Think about how you would react if you discovered a light fixture in your home that was about to fall from the ceiling. Your common sense reaction is likely to be that you repair the light mounting or remove it to ensure it does not fall on someone and result in an injury. That is also what the average prudent person would typically do and what is expected of the staff at Food Maxx.

If the team at Food Maxx fails to deliver the minimum level of care required, they are deemed negligent in their duty of care. In addition, Food Maxx can be held liable for the victim’s injuries and losses if it is determined that staff negligence caused or contributed to the injury incident. Please reach out to DTLA Law Group to discuss the details of your falling object incident with a skilled personal injury attorney to learn if negligence was a factor in the injuries you sustained.

It is vital for personal injury victims to understand that there are no standard compensation values for specific injuries or accidents. Instead, the value of each case is determined by evaluating the actual losses and expenses incurred by the victim. Working closely with your DTLA Law Group legal team, you will compile all expenses you incurred because of the injuries you suffered at Food Maxx. They will then calculate the total allowable expenses to determine the compensation you seek via your lawsuit. Items that are typically used include but are not always limited to:

• All current and estimated future medical expenses related to the care of your falling object injuries
• The cost of your legal services to prepare, file, and litigate your Food Maxx falling object injury lawsuit
• Your lost income if the injuries you suffered prevent you from performing the tasks of your regular job or you miss work to attend medical appointments related to the falling object injuries
• The replacement cost of any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the Food Maxx falling object incident

If the victim suffers severe harm that requires a lengthy recovery period, it is permitted to seek added compensation for their pain and suffering. Because the amount is not documented or defined with receipts, your Food Maxx falling object injury attorney will assist you in selecting a reasonable amount for pain and suffering. They will refer to recently resolved cases with similar injuries or treatment protocols to ensure you are fairly compensated for all you endured.

As the victim of a personal injury due to a falling object at Food Maxx, you are given two years from the date of the incident to file a claim. If the lawsuit against Food Maxx is not filed within that time, you will lose the right to seek justice and compensation for losses caused by that specific injury incident. In addition, there are minimal exceptions that provide added time for a victim to file a lawsuit once the two-year period has passed. So, please do not hesitate to contact DTLA Law Group today to discuss how much time remains to decide if you wish to take legal action against Food Maxx for the harm you suffered while in its store.
