Common Causes of Supermarket Accidents
Supermarket accidents, not unlike many other accidents, are often the result of negligence. While at times, customers simply sustain injuries as a result of carelessness, most of these accidents occur due to supermarket management or staff negligence. Some of the most common causes of supermarket accidents are as follows:
Spills left uncleared in aisles or restrooms
Broken glass and other debris in aisles
Falling merchandise from shelves
Improperly placed floor mats
Unsafe supermarket parking lots
Insufficient supermarket security
What to Do After a Supermarket Accident
If you are wrongfully injured in a supermarket accident, if possible, you should take several steps to increase your chances of winning a personal injury claim. They are as follows:
Notify supermarket management of the accident and call the police if needed. Supermarket management should write up a store incident report.
Ask anyone who saw your accident for their name, phone number, and email address.
Take pictures of the unsafe supermarket conditions that caused your accident.
Receive medical treatment.
Hire an experienced Toronto supermarket accident lawyer who can work to gather all other forms of evidence, such as surveillance footage of your accident, to prove your personal injury claim.
Limitation Period in Ontario
The limitation period for occupiers' liability claims in Ontario is, generally, two years, meaning you mustn't wait longer than two years from the date of your accident to pursue compensation from the negligent party.
