SaveMart Falling Object Incident Lawyer

When asked to describe their local market or grocery store, most shoppers will provide an accurate depiction of the space that is between eye level and the floor. However, they rarely describe the items hanging from the ceiling or at the top of the walls. Sadly, most of us never look up that far to see and recognize all the potential falling object hazards that could become very harmful in only minute or even seconds. As you shop at SaveMart or any grocery store, be sure to take a look at all the items over your head and the heads of your loved ones to ensure you avoid these common falling object safety risks:

• Ceiling fans or HVAC equipment that is coming loose and could fall from the rafters
• Light fixtures that are broken or have loose mounting hardware and might fall on an unsuspecting patron
• Electronic devices like security cameras and motion sensors, WiFi components, and repeaters that could be poorly installed or have been damaged and are likely to fall
• Merchandise that is overstocked on top or higher shelves and can easily fall if the unit is bumped or items are removed too quickly from the shelf
• Free-standing display units that are damaged or overloaded can fall on a customer, or items can drop from them, causing significant harm

It is also critical to beware of falling items not located over your head, which could injure a leg, foot, or ankle if they fall from a lower shelf or stack of inventory items. In addition, pay particular attention to any merchandise that might not appear to be stable on the shelf or display that could fall on a child and cause harm. If you suffer a falling object injury at SaveMart, report the incident to the store staff and seek a complete medical examination of the harm to ensure proper treatment and the potential for the most rapid recovery possible. Then contact DTLA Law Group to learn if you could have grounds for a falling object injury case against SaveMart.

Premises liability laws were created to ensure the safety of guests at public and private properties. The property owner or their staff must follow guidelines to inspect the space and repair or eliminate common safety hazards promptly. Duty of care defines the extent of the care that is required when a safety concern is located or reported.

SaveMart staff are required to provide at least the same level of care that would be delivered by the average prudent person in a similar situation. This simple explanation without complex legal jargon makes it simple for most people to grasp what is required to understand how duty of care can impact a falling object injury incident.

Think about how you would react if you discovered a ceiling fan in your home that was loose from the ceiling and could fall and injure someone. You and most other prudent people would eight repair the mounting assembly of the ceiling fan, or remove it to ensure it did not fall on anyone. That is also what would be required under duty of care for the staff at SaveMart if they discovered a damaged or loose ceiling fan in the store.

If they fail to provide this minimum level of care, they could be deemed negligent in their duty of care. Additionally, should a patron suffer an injury in the store and it is determined that staff negligence caused or contributed to the harm, SaveMart could be held liable for the victim’s losses and expenses due to their injuries. Please do not hesitate to reach out to DTLA Law Group to discuss your claim and the possibility of negligence that could allow you to seek compensation for the harm and losses sustained due to a falling object injury.

It is vital to understand that there are no predetermined values for harm or losses suffered because of a personal injury. Instead, the victim works with their falling object incident legal team to compile all allowable expenses used to calculate the compensation sought by the lawsuit. Items that are commonly permitted include but are not always limited to:

• All current and estimated future medical expenses for essential care and treatment of the falling object incident injuries
• Any lost income if the injuries prevent the victim from performing the tasks of their regular job or for income lost due to missed work because of medical treatment or appointments
• The replacement cost of any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the falling object incident
• All legal costs associated with the preparation, filing, and litigation of the falling object incident injury lawsuit

In the event of severe injuries that require lengthy treatment and an extended recovery time, it is permitted to seek added compensation for the victim’s pain and suffering. Because this is not a documented expense, the DTLA Law Group legal team will assist in selecting a reasonable amount based on recently resolved cases with similar details and injuries.

As a personal injury victim, the Statute of Limitations gives you two years from the date of the injury incident to file a claim against SaveMart. If the case is not filed with the court when the two years have passed, the victim loses the right to seek compensation and justice for the harm they suffered in that specific incident. In addition, there are few exceptions to this time limit, so it is advised that victims reach out to DTLA Law Group as quickly as possible to ensure they understand the time remaining to file a claim and how long it could take to prepare the matter.
