MedMen Store Slip and Fall Injury Attorney

Our attorneys have seen far too many incidents of negligence by those who operate stores and other commercial properties. As a result, people needlessly end up being injured form a slip and fall. Falling down may not seem like a big deal, but these are dangerous accidents with the potential for permanent, disabling injuries.

A slip and fall at a MedMen marijuana dispensary can leave you with one or more of the following:

• Concussion, hemorrhaging, and other traumatic brain injury
• Dislocated jaw, missing teeth, and other dental injuries
• Dislocated or fractured shoulder
• Injury to the knee, like tearing of the ACL or MCL
• Tailbone fracture
• Vision loss or impaired vision (blurriness or double vision)
• Hearing loss from a brain injury and/or damage to the ear canal
• Hip fracture
• Rupturing of the spleen and other internal organs
• Whiplash
• Spinal cord damage
• Fractured sacrum, herniated disc and other back injuries
• Sprain or fracture in the ankle / wrist
• Chronic pain
• Partial or total paralysis

If you slipped and fell down at a MedMen store because of unsafe conditions on the property, you can file a claim for medical costs and other forms of compensation. Circumstances that can result in a slip and fall accident include:

• Coffee, water, soft drinks, and other spilled beverages
• Not covering slippery areas on the floor with slip resistant mats
• Inadequate lighting
• Failure to secure wires and cords so they are not in people’s way
• Uneven flooring (not level or missing tiles / boards)
• Defective or missing handrails
• Slippery steps
• Cleaning fluid, hand sanitizer, and other slippery substances on the floor
• Hazards in outdoor areas, like oil stains, leaking trash bags, buildup of algae, snow and ice.
• Broken air conditioners that leak water
• Failing to place Wet Floor signs around mopped or waxed areas

The law of premises liability requires property owners to ensure that they meet a reasonable standard of care to guest and visitors. Essentially, they need to take care of conditions that may cause an accident, and this can be done in various ways, like cleaning, inspections, and maintenance. It’s ultimately the owner of the home, store, company, etc., who is responsible, even if the hazard was caused by someone else (another customer, for example).

As someone that was injured from negligent conditions at a store, you have the option to seek monetary damages by filing an accident claim. The damages you can receive depend on the details of your case, so at this point, we can’t say for sure what you are entitled to if you are eligible for a slip and fall lawsuit. Possible damages you can recover include some or all of the following:

• Cost of medical treatments and services
• Lifetime care costs for severe injuries that cause disability
• Lost wages during the recovery period
• Future lost wages and/or lost earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Property damage
• Punitive damages
• Legal fees

The extent of injuries caused by slip and fall accidents can result in death, especially if you have bleeding in the brain and other severe injuries. Or, it may be that the victim has a combination of injuries and pre-existing health conditions that puts them at greater risk of dying from a slip and fall. In the event a slip and fall at a MedMen store results in fatality, the victim’s family members may be entitled to wrongful death benefits.

A wrongful death lawsuit provides compensation for monetary and emotional losses that are directly linked to a loved one’s death. The key is to prove that your spouse, parent, child, etc., would not have died were it not for an accident that was caused by the defendant’s negligence. Compensatory damages from a wrongful death lawsuit may include:

• Funeral expenses
• Medical costs related to the decedent’s care after the accident
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of expected income and benefits
• Loss of consortium
• Attorney’s fees

The amount you can receive from a fall accident claim may be anywhere from $10,000 to $3,000,000, so at the end of the day, there is no such thing as an average case value. What you will ultimately end up with depends on many factors, like the injuries you sustain and the negative consequences they have on your life. Some people have fairly minor injuries that fully heal, so they are able to resume their work duties and activities they enjoyed prior to the accident. Others are injured to the point where they are permanently disabled, which has a profound impact on your health and finances.

It’s worth noting that clients represented by our attorneys often receive payments in excess of $75,000. But settlements and verdicts can be very different from one case to another. As a result, it’s essential to meet with a slip and fall attorney to discuss value of your case.

This is another question where the concept of “average” doesn’t apply, as resolving a personal injury case can take between a few months to several years. Overall, we would say that case timelines of just a few months are unusually fast. Premises liability claims for dangerous conditions at a store usually take between 6 and 18 months to settle, and possibly over 2 years for extreme injury cases that are worth $1,000,000 and above.

If we are unable to negotiate a settlement with the other side’s insurance company, either on our own or with help from a mediator, you have the option of asking for a trial date. At that point, the timeline to get paid from a MedMen store accident injury case increases by one or more years.

Victims of a slip and fall caused by a property owner’s negligence have 2 years to file a lawsuit for monetary damages. Except in rare situations, you must initiate a claim within 2 years of when the accident occurred. Alternatively, you have 2 years starting from the date of death to file a lawsuit for wrongful death.

In essence, the clock starts ticking on the statute of limitations for a MedMen slip and fall case from the moment you are injured at the store. Don’t miss out on the chance to obtain compensation for your medical bills and other qualifying expenses. Contact our office immediately and schedule a free case review.

Many people have an existing injury claim that’s stuck in limbo, meaning they are no closer to a settlement than they were months ago. Others may be confused about their available legal options and wish to have another lawyer’s input on the best course of action. That may include finding a new law firm to take over your case, which you can do at any point, even if you are about to go to trial.
