What Can I Do If Walmart Denies My Slip And Fall Claim?

If you reached out to Walmart asking them to cover the cost of your medical expenses and other losses caused by a slip and fall in one of their stores, they are likely to tell you it is not their responsibility. They hope that injury victims will accept that answer and stop trying to get the company to cover their expenses and losses. But please know that just because Walmart denied your slip and fall claim does not mean you have no right to sue them.

Premises liability law requires all public and private property owners to maintain their spaces safely and hazard-free. They are also obligated to meet what is called duty of care when a safety issue or hazard is reported to the staff by a guest or discovered when inspecting the property. Duty of care states that the staff of a Walmart must act with at least the same level of care and attention as would be provided by the average prudent person facing the same safety concern. For example, if water or other liquid is spilled on the floor, the staff should clean it up immediately to prevent a slip and fall injury. Most people would do that when they encounter that hazard in their home and what is expected under duty of care.

If the staff fail to take the appropriate action in a reasonable time, they can be deemed negligent in their duty of care. In addition, if it is later found that the staff negligence caused or contributed to a guest suffering an injury, then the owner can be held financially liable for the losses and the expenses incurred by the injury victim. The management at Walmart who denied your claim hope you do not understand duty of care and have no way to use this aspect of the legal system to force them to cover your expenses. However, the team at DTLA Law Group is ready to fight for you and your rights while securing all the compensation that is owed to you for the losses and expenses created when you suffered a slip and fall in a Walmart because the staff failed to meet their legal obligation of duty of care.

The staff at DTLA Law Group will not be able to provide you with an estimated amount for your Walmart slip and fall injury lawsuit until a great deal of information is gathered. However, we can explain that each lawsuit is carefully evaluated, and the actual losses and expenses of the injury victim are used to calculate the compensation amount. This process ensures that each victim is fairly and fully compensated for the harm caused by Walmart’s staff negligence.

Working closely with your DTLA Law Group Walmart slip and fall injury attorney, you will compile all the supporting documentation to verify your allowable expenses. The items typically included in the process are:

• All legal expenses related to preparing, filing, and litigating your Walmart slip and fall injury lawsuit.
• The cost to replace any personal property damaged or destroyed in the slip and fall incident at Walmart
• All current and projected future medical expenses related to the care of injuries suffered in the Walmart slip and fall incident
• Your lost income if the injuries sustained in the Walmart slip and fall incident prevent you from returning to your regular job until you have made a complete recovery

In cases that involve severe harm and a lengthy recovery process, the victim is permitted to seek added compensation for their pain and suffering. Because this is not a documented amount, your DTLA Law Group legal team will research recently resolved cases with similar details to guide you in selecting a fair amount for your pain and suffering compensation.

Slip and fall injury victims have only two years from the date of the injury incident to file their claim with the court. Sadly, the team at Walmart could have been working very hard to keep you from learning that information in hopes that time would expire before they declined your claim. Please contact DTLA Law Group today to determine how long remains to file your slip and fall lawsuit against Walmart before the time limit expires, and you lose the right to file a claim with the court.

When you hire DTLA Law Group to handle your Walmart slip and fall injury matter, we never require any upfront payments or fees. Instead, we only get paid for our work after the case is resolved, and you have the compensation that includes funds to cover your legal costs and other expenses. In addition, if your Walmart slip and fall injury attorney fails to win your case and get you the compensation you deserve, you owe DTLA Law Group nothing for its time and financial investment in preparing your lawsuit. Please reach out to our staff quickly to ensure you still have time to take legal action to hold Walmart accountable for any staff negligence that caused your slip and fall injuries.
