How do supermarket accidents most frequently occur?
Supermarket accidents happen for many reasons, however, they are most frequently caused by store owner or employee negligence. Some of the most frequent causes of supermarket accidents in NYC include spills left unattended, falling merchandise, runaway carts, unsafe parking lot conditions, and more. No matter the cause of your accident, we are ready to help.
What should I do after a supermarket accident?
After an accident, the first thing you should do is call for help and notify the store owner. The store owner should then file an incident report, that you may use to prove a future personal injury claim. From here, you should call the police and wait for an ambulance to take you to the hospital. After you’ve been treated, ensure you receive medical documentation and speak with an experienced attorney who knows the ins and outs of the claims process. Our firm has been helping the wrongly injured for years, and we are ready to do the same for you. We have what it takes to gather and present evidence to prove your slip and fall accident and win you the money you deserve.
What’s the statute of limitations for injury claims involving supermarket accidents in NYC?
Though it is always best to bring your claim to our attention sooner, rather than later, the statute of limitations in New York allows individuals three years from the date of their accident to pursue legal action against the negligent party.
