Property owners have a legal responsibility to identify and promptly address safety hazards that could cause injury. This duty of care is enhanced for commercial retailers like Target, which invite people onto their property for retail transactions. Customers are considered legal “invitees” to the property and have the right to a reasonable expectation of safety.
When a Target store manager neglects to correct a safety hazard, such as repairing a loose shelf, quickly mopping spilled coffee, or placing adequate warning signs, Target is responsible for the injury victim’s “damages” or the physical and financial effects of the injury.
Retailers like Target report that slip-and-fall accidents generate 32% of their incurred financial losses. Further losses result from problems such as falling objects and collapsing shelves. The most common causes of Target store accidental customer injuries include the following:
When an accident in a Target store causes more than embarrassment or frustration but results in serious injury, it takes a toll on the injury victim and their family, often impacting all aspects of their life — contact a Bronx slip and fall accident attorney today to pursue due compensation.
Slip-and-fall accidents account for over a million emergency hospital visits each year, often occurring in retail stores like Target. Target stores are inviting environments, but they have hard-surface flooring and towering shelves filled with heavy objects. Store managers have a responsibility to regularly inspect the retail environment and address any dangers to customers and employees.
Slip-and-falls, falling objects, and other accidents in Target stores result in injuries such as the following:
Injuries such as the above disrupt the injury victim’s life and often cause medical expenses at the same time that they prevent a prompt return to the workplace, resulting in significant financial harm. A claim against a liable Target store demands financial accountability for those losses.
A successful claim against a liable Target retailer in The Bronx recovers compensation for common injury damages such as the following:
Depending on the circumstances of the case, other damages may be recovered, such as compensation for scarring, disfigurement, loss of enjoyment of life, or diminished quality of life.
Injury victims file compensation claims for Target store injuries against the store’s powerful liability insurance company. Insurers are rarely quick to pay out on large injury claims and may protect their profits at your expense.
