Like any other retail store there is always the chance for injury.
There are many reasons why an injury accident at an Apple Store occurs.
Slip, Trip, and Fall: Spilled liquids and cleaning products on the store floor can cause an accident. Clutter left on the floor can cause a trip and fall. Employees must promptly attend to any hazardous conditions that can cause this type of injury. Proper signage must be placed by the hazard, to warn customers of the danger.
Overcrowding: High foot traffic at an Apple Store is common. This is especially true when there are sales events. Overcrowding, can lead to customers being pushed or even trampled. Management must take precautions to provide the customer with a safe environment.
Items Falling: Many things can fall on the floor at an Apple Store. This can cause an injury. Laptops, battery chargers, phones, iPads, cords, and cables just to name a few.
Furniture: The Apple Store has tables and chairs that must be in proper working condition. A defective piece of furniture can cause injury. Furniture must be regularly checked. If damaged removed, repaired, or replaced. Falling out of a broken chair onto the floor of an Apple Store can cause serious harm.
Poor Lighting: Making sure that lighting is adequate is important. Poor lighting can make it difficult for customers to see a hazard. Lighting is high priority when it comes to safety.
Apple stores must be well maintained and managed.
With the high volume of traffic, there is a risk that maintenance and safety issues will arise.
This can result in injuries.
Downtown Summerlin Apple Store Robberies
In February 2024, the Downtown Summerlin Apple store was a target for thieves.
This was not the first time that the store had been targeted. The thieves robbed the store twice in one day.
They stole thousands of dollars in goods and left the customers in shock. Luckily, no one was physically harmed.
They were however, emotionally shaken up from the ordeal. Apple has an obligation, and duty to provide a safe environment for their customers.
