Causes and Consequences of a Grocery Store Slip and Fall Accident In New York

Heavy foot traffic, weather and the nature of the grocery business means that there can be a lot of water and other liquids on the floors of stores where people buy food and other supplies. Property owners have a legal duty to mark or clean slippery floors that can cause customers to slip and fall.

When store employees fail to clean up product spills, snowmelt, rain or other liquids or forget to place warning signs when needed, the law can hold stores responsible.  Unfortunately, some of the injuries suffered by customers who slipped and fell as a result of this negligence can be serious.

At Proner & Proner, our skilled slip and fall accident lawyers advocate for clients who slipped and fell in grocery stores, and who have experienced:

• Broken bones,
• Sprains,
• Head injuries,
• Back injuries,
• Lacerations from broken glass and other substances.

In addition to wet floors, customers can slip and fall because of cracked or damaged floors, unsafe carpet, and uneven pavement/steps at the entrance or elsewhere. Store owners and operators who know of such conditions and fail to correct them can be held liable for injuries that occur due to their negligence.

Understanding the Grocery Store Owner’s Duty of Care to Prevent Slip and Fall Accidents in NYC 

Like other business owners, grocery store owners and operators have a legal duty to keep the property safe for customers.  This duty is based on a “reasonableness” standard. For example, if a customer spills liquid on the floor and falls in it, the grocery store is likely not responsible.  However, if the grocery store employees are notified of a spill and fail to clean it or place warning signs—or even fail to inspect the property to locate the spill for an extended period of time—the property owner may be responsible.

To win compensation in a grocery store slip and fall accident case, our knowledgeable injury lawyers will work to show:

• A dangerous condition existed in or around the grocery store,
• The grocery store employees knew about the condition or reasonably should have known about the condition,
• The staff failed to correct the condition, either by repairing it or placing adequate warning signs to alert customers to the danger,
• You suffered injuries that were caused by the dangerous condition.

At Proner & Proner, our experienced lawyers will work with you every step of the way toward recovering fair compensation for your injuries.
