Slip and Fall at Walmart Supermarket in Lake Worth

Walmart is well known throughout the country for its large selection and amazingly low prices. Lake Worth shoppers also enjoy the abundance provided by Walmart, and often visit one of their local Walmart locations to purchase a variety of goods, from auto parts to electronics to grocery items. Walmart also often co-locates with optometrists and other services such as insurance or restaurants, to add to their already full shopping opportunities for visitors to the store.

Any business that serves clients, including Walmart, has an obligation to maintain a hazard free environment for shoppers and visitors. If that duty is broken, and a Lake Worth visitor to Walmart or any other supermarket suffers a slip and fall because of that breach of duty, then Walmart or any other supermarket may be legally responsible for any damages caused by that fall. If you believe you may have a legal claim for a slip and fall accident, contact the attorneys Frankl Kominsky to discuss your legal options.

If you visit a supermarket such as a Lake Worth Walmart, or a Walmart in the surrounding area and suffer a slip or trip and fall, it is critical to identify the cause of that fall. The reason this is so important is because it will determine who may be responsible for paying for medical treatment or other costs associated with the fall. Legally, a store or other commercial establishment must provide an environment that is free of dangers for visitors. If a danger does take place - if an automatic door malfunctions or if there is motor oil spilled in the aisle, for example - then the Walmart or other supermarket is required to rectify that danger within a reasonable amount of time.

The owner or manager of the premises must also be aware of the danger in order for the establishment to be at fault. If the employee was directly involved of the danger, then by extension, the owner or manager technically would be aware of the situation.
