Have you or a loved one suffered a serious injury as a result of falling merchandise? Did the accident occur at a "big box" retailer, warehouse store, grocery store or other retail outlet? Did the accident result in an injury such as a laceration, brain injury or neck\spinal cord damage?

At The Law Office of James R. Snell, Jr., LLC, our falling merchandise lawyer represents clients injured due to falling merchandise. Did you know that when a customer is injured due to falling merchandise they may be entitled to full legal compensation to include pain & suffering, lost wages and payment of medical bills?

We've all seen examples of stores stacking heavy or sharp cornered boxes high up on shelves, where they are difficult to retrieve by customers and employees. When these objects fall serious injury or even death may result.

Responsibility for Injury

Retail and warehouse stores owe their customers a legal duty to maintain reasonably safe shopping conditions. This duty may be violated when the stores negligently shelve and stack merchandise which creates a dangerous condition.

Falling merchandise cases may arise when a serious injury follows:

Improperly stacked merchandise on high shelves
Heavy or dangerous merchandise stored too high
Employee conduct causing merchandise to fall
Broken or unstable shelving systems

The type of merchandise, the type and height of the shelf and the negligence of the store's employees all factor into determining responsibility for injuries as a result of falling merchandise.

Fighting the Insurance Company

Often times the store's insurance company will reject falling merchandise claims or will try to mislead injured customers as to their liability for their injury or amount of compensation available. As an injury law firm we know the law and what money our clients are entitled to. We stand up and fight for injured people.
