Supermarkets are a focal point for shoppers all across Western New York. Shoppers rely on supermarkets to buy food and other goods they need to get through the week, and patrons seldomly ever imagine supermarkets to be dangerous. However, the average supermarket is riddled with various hazards that commonly cause severe injuries to unsuspecting shoppers.

Supermarket owners have a duty, or a legal obligation, to maintain a reasonable safely level and to inform of possible dangers on their premises, when they invite shoppers into their stores. Shoppers depend on store owners to properly maintain their grocery stores and keep them safe from dangerous conditions. Regretfully, simple trips to the supermarket turn into injury-filled nightmares for some shoppers. In cases where store owners failed to fulfil their legal duties, New York premises liability law can provide victims with a legal remedy.

Victims of supermarket accidents should take the following steps as soon as possible:

1. Immediately, request to speak to the manager. If you are seriously injured and unable to move, you should request someone nearby to locate the manager. It is important to make certain that the manager sees you and the source of your injury.
2. Ask the manager to fill out an accident or incident report and request a copy. The manager will most likely request your contact information and more details regarding the accident. Identify any causes of your injury, such as a wet floor, bunched rug or fallen objects.
3. Avoid telling the manager that the accident was your fault or that you made any mistakes. It is not your responsibility to accept any fault in the accident.
4. Request immediate medical assistance, if necessary. By requesting the supermarket manager to call 911, the paramedics can ensure you are not seriously injured. This also helps strengthen your injury claim, especially in cases where the supermarket or their insurance company attempts to claim that you did not suffer any injuries. It is important to remember that some injuries can remain dormant for months or even years.
5. Gather information, such as the names and contact information of any witnesses, and take pictures or videos of the scene of the accident and the condition that caused it. Make a mental note of any store cameras around that could have captured your accident.

By taking the above steps, you will have some proof to support your claim. This is important because the victim carries the burden of proof in supermarket accidents.

In order to recover financial compensation for injuries suffered at a supermarket, the victim is required to prove that they were injured as a result of the negligence of another party. It is a legal duty of supermarket owners to take reasonable efforts to maintain safe conditions for patrons. Owners or staff should routinely inspect their stores for any conditions that may result in an accident or injury. Negligence claims can be filed when an accident occurs resulting from circumstances or conduct that should have been avoidable or preventable. Supermarket owners can be held liable for hazards that caused the accident because of the actions that they took or failed to take when necessary.

Victims can prove negligence by showing that the owners or their staff should have known about or had prior notice of the dangerous condition and failed to take necessary actions to fix the unsafe condition. For example, if another shopper dropped a bottle of olive oil on the floor and informed the staff, but the staff failed to clean up the oil. Then, you slipped and fell as a result, a couple hours later. You must be able to show that the staff had reasonable time to correct the hazardous condition. In cases where the same hazardous condition resulted in prior injuries, this can demonstrate that the owner had reason to be aware of the danger.

Negligence can also be shown in cases where the hazard was created by the supermarket’s staff. For instance, if a store employee mopped the floor, but did not post any warning signs that the floor was wet, and a shopper fell and was injured as a result. If the supermarket owner is found negligent, you may be able to recover compensation for your pain and suffering, injuries, medical bills and lost wages.
