WSS Slip And Fall Accident Injury Lawyer

The minute you enter a WSS store, it can be easy to focus solely on searching for the best deals and latest sale items. However, it is vital that you pay close attention to the slip and fall risks that could be found throughout the store. The threat could begin as soon as you enter the store and include issues such as:

• Missing floor mats allowing water to be tracked into the store
• Saturated floor mats that failed to dry your shoes but might lead you to believe your shoes are dry and will not slip in the polished flooring
• Food or drinks that are spilled on the floor
• Merchandise that has been dropped or knocked to the floor but not picked up by store staff
• Water on the floor from leaking coolers, water lines, or damaged plumbing fixtures
• Paper, trash, litter, and debris that have found their way to the floor rather than an appropriate trash can

All of these minor issues can be hard to see when you are focused on shopping for shoes or fan gear. But it only takes a fraction of a second and a wrong step to suffer significant injuries that could be life-altering. And the worst part is that your slip and fall injury accident could often have been prevented if a dedicated staff member had only taken the time to clean up a spill or place trash in an appropriate receptacle.

The term duty of care is used to explain the responsibility of business owners to provide a safe space for customers. These guidelines define the minimum level of care that must be provided to prevent injury accidents due to slip and fall or trip and fall hazards. The specific actions required are defined as those that would be offered by the average prudent person.

For example, the average person would pick up ice they dropped on the floor to prevent it from melting, creating a significant slip and fall hazard. That same person would also remove pieces of litter from the floor to avoid a slip and fall injury accident. These are the same types of actions you should be able to expect from the staff at any WSS store.

Each slip and fall or trip and fall injury accident is unique. So there is no general answer as to when you can or cannot sue WSS. However, the staff at DTLA Law Group is always available to help answer that question for a specific incident. They will discuss the details of the slip and fall to determine if the WSS staff was negligent in their duty of care and if that negligence is to blame for your injuries.

If you suffered a slip and fall caused by negligence or lack of duty of care, you could have grounds for a WSS slip and fall accident injury lawsuit. Your legal team will then explain your options and how to move forward with filing your claim.

Personal injury victims typically have two years from the date of their injury to file a claim against WSS. If the claim is not in the court system by that date, the victim will often lose the right to seek any compensation for that event. If any of the few exceptions to this rule apply to your case, the DTLA Law Group staff will explain how they could be used to your advantage.

You should also know that there is no limit on how soon after the accident you can file your claim against WSS. The deciding factor is typically when you and your legal team believe the case is complete and ready to be filed with the court. At DTLA Law Group, we understand that many personal injury victims need the settlement or verdict funds to pay their bills and living expenses after suffering injuries. So we work diligently to complete your case prep as fast as possible.

The value of any personal injury lawsuit is based on the losses and expenses the victim faces due to their injuries. The claim will include items that fall into these categories:

• Medical expenses
• Lost wages
• Legal fees
• Replacement value of personal items damaged in the fall

It is also common to include a dollar amount to serve as compensation for your pain and suffering. Your legal team will assist you in determining an acceptable amount based on the severity of your injuries and the time required to reach a complete recovery.

It could be a shock to learn that many of the injuries suffered in a WSS slip and fall incident are considered severe and could have life-altering implications for the victim and their loved ones. While some falls result in only minor bruises or scratches, many others cause:

• Broken or fractured bones
• Complete joint dislocations
• Severe lacerations or puncture wounds that damage internal organs or cause internal bleeding
• Facial injuries to the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, teeth, or skin
• Spinal cord injuries
• Head injuries, including a concussion, skull fracture, brain contusion, brain hemorrhage, or other traumatic brain injury
• Soft tissue and nerve damage

Sadly, many victims also face emotional challenges in addition to their physical injuries. Their inability to earn a living, mounting debt, and other financial challenges can lead to anxiety, increased stress levels, depression, and an overall decline in their quality of life.
