In 2017, an estimated 213 million United States consumers shopped in department stores every month. In 2018, more than 30 million people shopped in stores on Black Friday and the following weekend. Department stores are part of daily American life, but people often ignore the potential risks of in-store shopping. With so many people visiting department stores, injuries happen with surprising frequency.

Some common causes of department store injuries include:

1. Slip and fall or trip and fall incidents resulting from:
   1. Uneven carpet or flooring;
   2. Uneven sidewalks or poorly marked tripping hazards outside of the store;
   3. Icy or otherwise hazardous parking lot or sidewalk conditions;
   4. Unattended liquid from precipitation, cleaning or spills, without proper warning signage; or
   5. Unattended items such as merchandise, store fixtures or equipment left in aisles.
2. Overcrowding or poor crowd management;
3. Broken and dangerous merchandise or store fixtures;
4. General lack of maintenance of ceilings, walls, restroom facilities, entryways or other areas;
5. Broken, dysfunctional or otherwise missing lighting;
6. Defective, dysfunctional or obstructed stairways, elevators or escalators;
7. Unstable merchandise stacks or fixtures that could fall or collapse; or
8. Unstable or broken shopping carts that could tip over.

Unsafe conditions in department stores can result in a serious personal injury or even death. An accident in a department store may result in the following:

1. Head injuries, including concussions and traumatic brain injuries;
2. Broken bones, especially wrists, ankles, hips and other vulnerable points;
3. Lacerations or other skin injuries requiring stitches or medical attention;
4. Neck and back injuries relating to muscle strain or disc rupture or displacement;
5. Strains and sprains of other tendons or ligaments in the body; or
6. Human crush and trampling injuries resulting from overcrowding.

Please note that this is not a complete list. Slip and fall injuries send more people to the hospital each year than any other type of fall, and a department store is required to provide you and your loved ones with a safe, well-maintained shopping experience. Any of these injuries could cause you to miss work, spend large amounts of time in the hospital and accumulate extensive and overwhelming medical bills.

   2. Was appropriate warning signage in place to alert patrons of the hazard?
   3. Was company protocol followed to prevent hazards from arising? or
   4. Was public safety protocol followed to prevent hazards from arising?
2. Was the accident a direct result of negligence on the part of the property owner? For example:
   1. Was the property owner properly maintaining sidewalks, parking lots and other external building features to prevent slips, trips and other accidents?
   2. Did the property owner create a hazardous or dangerous condition? or
   3. Did the property owner know, or should he have known, of potential hazards that were his responsibility to fix, and did he fail to remedy the situation in a timely manner?
