    Can You Sue a Drug Store for a Slip and Fall?

    If you sustained injuries in an accident in a drug store, our slip and fall injury lawyers could seek compensation through a personal injury lawsuit. To pursue a fall accident claim against the company or property owner, you must be able to prove that they were negligent by establishing the following:

    • Duty of care: Property owners, landlords, and property managers, including store owners, have a responsibility to ensure their properties are safe and free of hazards. This duty of care extends to any customers, delivery people, or other individuals on the property legally.
    • Failure of duty: The property or store owner fails to prevent, correct, or warn of a dangerous condition.
    • Causation: The property owner or manager’s failure to fulfill the duty of care led to your slip and fall accident.
    • Damages: The slip and fall accident led to losses such as medical expenses, missed work, and pain and suffering.

    What Damages Can I Seek for a Slip and Fall in a Drug Store?

    If you slip and fall in a drug store, Rosenberg & Rosenberg could help you recover compensation for the costs associated with your injury, including: 

    Medical Bills for Your Slip and Fall Treatment

    You have a right to recover medical expenses from a negligent drug store owner if you slipped and fell on their premises. Depending on the severity of your injuries, you may be hospitalized or receive surgical treatment. Your injuries may also require physical therapy, medication, or assistive equipment. Our attorneys can include these costs in your claim against the drug store.

    Lost Income Due to the Accident

    A serious slip and fall injury can keep you from working. Whether your injury causes temporary or permanent impairment, you can claim the income you lost because of the drug store’s negligence. Income loss may include wages, salary, bonuses, and benefits you would otherwise have earned if you had not been injured.

    If you cannot return to work because of your injuries, our lawyers in Florida could also pursue future income you lost because of the incident.

    Pain and Suffering Caused by the Fall 

    Slip and fall injuries can cause significant pain and discomfort. They can prevent you from working or engaging in activities you once enjoyed. You have a right to seek compensation for these subjective damages as well.

    Rosenberg & Rosenberg’s dedicated slip and fall lawyers in Florida work to understand what you are going through and craft a customized legal solution tailored to your particular situation. Our goal is to help you recover from your injuries and protect your legal right to fair compensation.

    What Causes Slip and Fall Accidents?

    Slip and fall accidents can arise anywhere, but they can often be prevented by an attentive property owner. Negligent conditions that can cause trips and falls include:

    • Uneven, chipped, or broken flooring material
    • Folded or wrinkled rugs or carpeting
    • Wet, oily, or slippery floor surfaces
    • Holes or cracks in the floor
    • Lack of handrails on elevated surfaces like landings, stairs, and platforms

    As soon as a dangerous condition is reported to them, the drug store or pharmacy has a responsibility to either fix the condition or warn about it. For example, many stores put up signs to caution about wet floors. 

    If the store does not take reasonable care to mitigate the danger, a Florida personal injury attorney from our firm can hold them accountable for the resulting injuries and associated costs.

    Understanding the Dangers of Slip and Fall Accidents

    Slip and fall accidents are a leading cause of emergency room visits in the United States. Often, they can result in catastrophic injuries and even death. In fact, over 4,000 people died from falls in Florida in 2023.

    Bone fractures are a common result of slip and fall accidents, but numerous injuries are possible, including head, neck, and back injuries. Treatment for bone fractures, traumatic brain injury, and back and neck injuries related to a fall can take months or years. In some cases, a person may be permanently impaired or disabled.

    Rosenberg & Rosenberg’s slip and fall accident attorneys want to see you recover all of the money you need to rebuild after this experience. We can fight hard on your behalf from beginning to end.
