Walmart Accident & Injury

Walmart stores and its gas stations have a responsibility to protect customers from dangerous conditions. Unfortunately, as Orlando injury lawyers, we have seen too many avoidable accident and injury claims. As a giant retailer, there is no excuse to fail to protect one's customers - especially when it comes to obvious dangers. In many accident and injury cases, we find that the condition which causes the serious injury could have easily been corrected. Often, these dangerous conditions are present for days or weeks or longer.

Every company that invites customers into its stores must be vigilant to inspect its property and its operations to make sure it is not creating or maintaining a "trap" for its patrons. When a customer walks through a store, they are usually looking for merchandise so broken floor tiles, spills or dropped items will not be seen and can cause serious accident and injury. Too often giant retailers like Walmart, Target, J. C. Pennys, Sears, Dillards and Macy's try to blame an innocent customer for falling or suffering injury. These companies and their insurance companies will usually contact the injured customers to obtain a "recorded statement" without the customer fully understanding what is being asked. The goal of a recorded statement is to find fault with the customer and to try to minimize even the most serious injury.
