Walmart Personal Injury Claims

It is Walmart’s responsibility to ensure you have a safe shopping experience each time you go into their store. It’s the law. They have an obligation to not only to maintain a safe environment but to warn customers if anything could potentially be unsafe such as wet floors due to spills or recent mopping of the area.

If an injury takes place at Walmart, it is up to the law to decide who is at fault and who pays any medical bills incurred. In the event that you are hurt, don’t let Walmart tell you they are not responsible. That is not up to them to determine. Give our law office a call and we’ll let you know if you have Los Angeles Walmart personal injury case to pursue.

Types of Walmart Accidents

Being such a popular destination for shopping, Walmart has its share of accidents and injury cases. The most common Walmart injuries are slips, falls, and trips but there are many other types of injuries that occur as well. The top causes for Walmart accidents are:

• Slips and falls due to wet or slick floors
• Falls and slips due to obstacles
• Harm from a product falling off the shelf
• Being hit by a Walmartemployee operating equipment such as a forklift
• A bite or other harm suffered from a dog in the store
• Being hurt by a ladder falling on you
• Burns on skin caused by open or spilled chemicals
• Breathing issues from chemicals used to clean or that have spilled
• Cuts and gashes due to lumber that sticks off shelves

Possible Injury Results

When a product falls from a top shelf or a shopper slips on a wet floor, a number of medical scenarios may take place including:

• Cuts
• Gashes
• Broken bones
• Sprained ankles
• Brain injuries
• Back injuries
• Neck injuries
• Eye injuries
• Concussions

Unsafe Conditions Due to Negligence at Walmart

Regardless of why the incident occurred, if you were hurt at Walmart, they are responsible if negligence, oversight, or lack of responsibility played any part. Walmart retailers are legally required to properly train their employees and are to do everything else within their power to ensure the safety of their shoppers. Failure to do so may warrant cause for a lawsuit against them.

Personal Injuries are Painful and Costly

If you were injured at Walmart, you may have ended up going to the hospital by ambulance or at least making a trip to the ER. Doctor’s bills, hospital tabs, and prescription charges begin to mount. You may have even had surgery or been told you may need one in the future. Physical therapy is a common equation in the mix too.

The fact is that medical injuries cost money. So do emotional issues that often develop after an injury. Other expenses add up too like being off work, babysitting fees while you go to your medical appointments, paying for a way to get to the appointments if your injury doesn’t allow you to drive, a myriad of other costs can easily be racked up.

t is unreasonable to expect a Walmart shopper to pay the expenses that were incurred because of an injury that wasn’t his or her fault.

Pain and suffering are other factors to consider. You trusted Walmart to keep you safe while in their building and if that didn’t happen, you may be entitled to compensation.
