FoodMaxx Slip & Fall Accident Injury Lawsuit

With the tough economy and increasing prices, it is understandable that every consumer is looking for bargains on healthy food items. But it is equally vital that thrifty shoppers understand the challenges or safety hazards they could face when choosing to shop at a local FoodMaxx. Some of the common and potentially life-altering slip & fall hazards you might encounter include:

• Poorly stacked or over stocked shelving that often spills over onto the floor, causing food items such as rice, beans, sugar, pet kibble, or kitty litter to cover the floor and create a significant slip & fall hazard- in addition, these small items can be hard to see, making them even more dangerous to shoppers
• Bottles and jars that can easily fall from a shelf and create a double hazard, including liquid spills that increase the slip & fall potential and broken glass that can cause additional injuries
• Puddles of water can often be found near coolers and freezers that are leaking, damaged water lines, malfunctioning plumbing fixtures, and drink or ice dispensers
• Washrooms in FoodMaxx locations can also be particularly dangerous due to clogged drains or overflowing toilets that create severe slip and fall possibilities due to the wet floor conditions
• Paper, litter, straw wrappers, drink lids, and receipts are all items that can be found on the floor and cause serious injury when the victims slips and falls

The most unfortunate part is that most of these safety concerns are easy to eliminate or simply marked with a caution sign to warn patrons of the need for increased attention and safety measures. However, the limited staff in these discount stores are not making the required inspections and taking the time to clean up spills and issues when they are discovered.

Duty of care is part of premises liability law and dictates the level of care required by property and business owners. In the case of FoodMaxx, the responsibility for this care falls to the employees of the locations because the owner is not present in each store regularly.

The care expected in a FoodMaxx or any other business location is defined as the care that the average prudent person would demonstrate. For example, the average person would mop up spilled water to prevent a slip & fall injury accident. And the same is expected of the staff in FoodMaxx. Another example is that the typical person will pick up trash from the floor to ensure no one slips & falls. Again, the same is required of the staff at FoodMaxx.

If the FoodMaxx staff is not making regular inspections of the store and following these simple guidelines, they could be considered negligent in their duty of care. When that negligence results in a patron suffering a slip and fall accident injury, the store could be liable for the victim’s losses. If that is the case, the victim also has reason to consider filing a FoodMaxx slip & fall accident injury lawsuit.

Many personal injury victims are under the misconception that there are predetermined values assigned to specific injuries or types of lawsuits. However, that is not correct. In reality, each lawsuit’s value is determined by evaluating the expenses and losses caused by the injuries the victim suffered. In your case, the staff at DTLA Law Group will help you sort through the items you have already paid and the amounts you owe or have lost to determine the value of your FoodMaxx slip & fall accident injury lawsuit. Some of the categories of your expenses will include:

• Medical bills from treatment, medication, and essential medical devices
• Your lost income if the injuries prevented you from working
• The cost of legal representation and preparation of your FoodMaxx slip & fall accident injury lawsuit
• The value of any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the slip & fall incident

In addition, you can include a dollar amount to compensate you for the pain and suffering you faced due to your injuries. The staff at DTLA Law Group will assist you in selecting an appropriate amount based on the severity of your injuries and the time needed to reach a complete recovery.

Unfortunately, many of the injuries suffered by FoodMaxx slip & fall victims are severe. The countless sharp edges and corners on shelving, freestanding displays, and the limited walking space in the aisles all contribute to these severe injuries:

• Broken or fractured bones
• Damage to connective tissue or complete joint dislocations
• Severe lacerations or puncture wounds that often include damage to internal organs or internal bleeding
• Damage to the spinal cord, neck, or back
• Facial injuries to the skin, nose, eyes, ears, mouth, or teeth
• Soft tissue or nerve damage
• Head injuries that could include a skull fracture, concussion, brain contusion, brain hemorrhage, or other traumatic brain injury

These injuries can potentially alter the rest of the victim’s life and cause added suffering, stress, and financial challenges. It is also common for victims to become depressed as they face a decreased quality of life and ability to live independently because of very preventable FoodMaxx slip & fall accident injuries.

As a personal injury victim, you have two years to file a claim with the court to seek compensation from FoodMaxx for your slip & fall injuries and losses. If you do not file within the Statute of Limitations, you will likely lose the right to file a FoodMaxx slip & fall accident injury lawsuit. However, you can file the case as soon as you and your legal team feel it is ready to present to the court. Filing as quickly as possible is very beneficial for victims who need the funds to pay medical bills and other expenses.
