Navigating Slip and Fall Claims: Expert Strategies from Kash Legal Group

Dealing with the Adjusters from Sedgwick Claims:

After a slip-and-fall accident, you may hear from the store’s third-party administrator (TPA), such as Sedgwick Claims. It is important to remember that their primary goal is to minimize the store’s liability. Before speaking with them, it is advisable to consult with an experienced personal injury attorney to ensure your rights are protected.

A Store’s Duty to Maintain Safe Premises:

Stores like Superior Grocers have a legal obligation to maintain safe premises for their customers. This duty includes regularly inspecting the premises for hazards and promptly addressing any unsafe conditions.

Determining Negligence in a Slip-and-Fall Accident:

To establish negligence in a slip and fall case, several factors must be considered:

• Did the store or its employees create the unsafe condition?
• Were they aware of the hazard?
• Did they have a reasonable opportunity to eliminate or reduce the danger?
• Was there a sign or warning alerting customers to the hazard?

Who to Sue for a Slip-and-Fall Injury:

In California, you may have grounds to sue the store, its employees, or other parties responsible for the unsafe condition. Determining liability requires a thorough investigation, which is best handled by an experienced personal injury attorney.

Common Causes of In-Store Slip-and-Fall Injuries:

Slip and fall accidents can happen due to various hazards in-store, such as spills or leaks on the floor, uneven or damaged flooring, poor lighting, obstructed walkways, or a lack of handrails.

If you’ve been involved in a slip-and-fall accident at Superior Grocers, it’s essential to take the following steps:

1. Get Names of Managers: Obtain the names and contact information of store managers or employees who witnessed the incident.
2. Complete an Incident Report: Request to complete an incident report detailing the circumstances of the accident. Ensure you keep a copy for your records.
3. Demand Preservation of Evidence: Request that the store preserve all video surveillance footage relevant to the accident. This can be crucial evidence in proving liability.
4. Take Photographs: Document the scene of the accident, including any hazards or conditions that contributed to your fall. Take photographs of any visible injuries as well.
