WinCo Trip And Fall Attorney

Consumers should be aware that trip and fall hazards could be present from the moment they exit their vehicle in a WinCo parking lot. Sadly, most of these issues appear simple to eliminate and cause few people to stop shopping at these discount food stores until they suffer a trip and fall injury that results in significant harm and expenses. Please understand that when shopping at any WinCo, you need to remain attuned to your surroundings and watch for these common trip and fall risks:

• Folded or damaged floor mats
• Litter and debris in the parking lots or on the sidewalks
• Damaged or uneven pavement in the parking area or sidewalks approaching the store
• Unmarked or poorly marked steps, ramps, or transitions from one flooring surface to another
• Unattended vacuum hoses or electrical cords left in walkways
• Inventory items left in aisles instead of being correctly placed on shelves or free-standing displays
• Items that were dropped or knocked off of displays but were not priced up and returned to shelves
• Loose or damaged carpet or other flooring surfaces
• Damaged displays or shelves that have hazardous components jutting out into walkways
• Palettes or skids left on floors
• Spaces in the store or parking area that are overly dark at night due to damaged or malfunctioning lights make the space very hazardous to navigate

It is nothing short of disappointing and even devastating that these simple issues are being overlooked by WinCo staff until an unsuspecting patron suffers an injury. When store inspections are ignored, these minor issues are allowed to remain and even worsen until they claim another innocent victim.

All property owners have a legal obligation to protect the safety of guests on their property. The laws governing these steps apply to all public and private properties such as homes, apartments, office buildings, and stores like WinCo. Duty of care defines the level of action or care that must be provided by a property owner or their staff to protect the safety of guests. It states that the care must be at least equal to what the average prudent person would provide in a similar situation.

For example, think about what you would do if you found an electrical cord running across the hallway in your home. You and most other people would remove the cord to ensure no one tripped and fell. The average person would consider this a common sense reaction to a safety issue that can easily be eliminated. It is also what is expected and legally required of the staff at WinCo should they discover a similar hazard in the store or if one is reported to them.

If the team fails to provide this basic level of care, they are said to be negligent in their duty of care. In addition, if it is later found that the harm sustained by a victim of a WinCo trip and fall injury incident was caused or partially caused by that negligence, WinCo can be held responsible for the victim’s losses and harm due to their injuries. If you think that the staff at WinCo was negligent in their duty of care and that caused your injuries from a trip and fall incident, please do not hesitate to contact DTLA Law Group today to discuss your case with a skilled trip and fall injury attorney.

The value of any personal injury lawsuit compensation is independently calculated based on the losses and expenses incurred by the victim. No predetermined case values or amounts are awarded for certain injuries or accidents. Working closely with your DTLA Law Group WinCo trip and fall attorney, you will compile all your allowable expenses caused by the injury incident. These items typically include but are not always limited to:

• All current and projected future medical expenses for the care of the injuries suffered during your WinCo trip and fall
• The cost of legal services to prepare, file, and litigate your WinCo trip and fall injury claim
• The cost to replace any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in your WinCo trip and fall incident
• Any lost income due to time spent receiving medical care for your trip and fall injuries or if those injuries prevent you from working at your regular job until you are fully healed

In the event that you sustain severe injuries that require lengthy treatment and recovery, you are permitted to seek added compensation for your pain and suffering. Your legal team will assist you in assigning a dollar value to this category as it is not verified by an invoice amount such as a medical bill. They will refer to recently resolved cases with similar details to help you select an appropriate amount that fully compensates you for the discomfort and challenges you endured.

The  Statute of Limitations provides victims of a trip and fall injury two years to file a lawsuit for compensation for their harm and losses. Once the time limit expires, the victim loses the right to take legal action against WinCo for any harm or expenses related to that incident. So, it is vital for victims to reach out to DTLA Law Group as swiftly as possible to discuss the time remaining to file their case and how long it might take to prepare the case to file with the court. Sadly, if you wait too long to take action, there is little the WinCo trip and fall injury attorneys at DTLA Law Group can do to help you get the compensation that could have been owed to you.

When you learn that new clients never need to pay upfront legal fees when you hire DTLA Law Group, you might think it is too good to be true. However, that is not the case. Our firm eliminated these fees because we understand how stressful and challenging it can be for a victim of a personal injury to pay them to get the help they need.
