Injured at a Von’s Grocery Store

Ever wonder why grocery stores and big box stores place things where people can’t reach them no matter how tall?

We have all seen it happen when someone is trying to grab that one elusive item that’s on the top shelf at the local grocery store.

Aand the next thing you know the person is either trying to almost climb the shelf to get the it or the item falls and hits them.

We all have witnessed the scene someone walking through the grocery store looking for items and maybe didn’t see the wet floor, and the next thing you know the person is lying on the ground after the slip and fall accident.

These are just two examples of grocery store accidents that happen very frequently.

A grocery store like Von’s can be a minefield for the average customer.

There are always pitfalls where a customer can get hurt.

Everything from burns on hot plates to robberies in parking lots are not uncommon when making a trip to the local market to pick up a few items.

Sometimes the grocery store like Von’s may have done something to cause the accident or other patrons participate in what caused the accident.

Whatever the accident or injury is, if you were just picking up some groceries for your home and you ended up with a trip to the emergency room it can become a very different day.

There’s always a lot going on at the grocery store and if you were injured you might need help to get your medical expenses covered.

You need to hire a lawyer who knows how to deal with big companies to get you the settlement you deserve.

Common Injuries at Vons Store

There are few injuries that are seen as the most common when it comes to shopping at a grocery store like Vons.

Some of them include:

1. Slip and fall

2. Burns

3. Food Poisoning

4. Head and Neck injuries

5. Assaults and Robberies

These are some of the most common injuries but slip and fall is the most common.

Slip and falls happen for a variety of reasons like wet or slippery floors, floor obstructions, falling objects or shelving that doesn’t hold properly.

Burns and food poisoning happen when places like Von’s offer ready made foods that you can grab on the go.

These foods are prepared by the store itself and are held in hot or cold storage until the customer decides to buy them.

Hot storage that is not properly maintained or working can be the cause of a burn to a guest.

Food that isn’t stored or held at the correct temperature can be the reason for food poisoning.

Head and neck injuries are usually caused by falling debris.

Assaults and robberies usually occur in the parking areas of a grocery store where the lighting may not be up to par or the security is lacking.

These are just the most common injuries that happen, but there are many more.

No matter what the injury, seek help and speak with a lawyer as soon as you can if you were injured while visiting Von’s in Nevada.

What to do if Injured While Shopping at Vons

All companies in Nevada have a duty to their customers to have a safe environment for them to shop in.

When this doesn’t happen and someone gets injured there are some things that we recommend that you do to ensure that you get the settlement you deserve.

1. Seek medical attention- Any good attorney will tell you that you need to seek a doctor’s help no matter how minor you may think your injuries are. You need to seek medical attention to get your injuries diagnosed and treated. You also need a medical record of your injuries if you plan on seeking compensation for your injuries.

2. Gather evidence- You may eventually hire a lawyer to help you if you’ve been injured while shopping. You still need to gather as much evidence as possible. Things like video footage only last for a set period of time. Once you hire an attorney they will help you with a further investigation into your case. You need to gather as much as you can as soon as you can. Police and medical reports, witness statements, photos and video are just some of the things you should be getting.

3. Report the accident- If you have an accident at a grocery store you need to report the incident to the store manager or security staff. If these two are not available you can report it to any staff member but you must report it as soon as possible.

4. Contact a personal injury lawyer- When you’re injured you might think that people or businesses will do the right thing. However that is usually not the case. Insurance companies and businesses will not admit fault or pay you what you deserve. In fact they will try to deny or low ball your injury or accident claim. That’s why hiring a lawyer is the best thing you can do.

Dealing With The Insurance Company

You may think that just dealing with Von’s insurance company is the best way to handle injuries you suffered.

You will have to deal with them regardless, if you want to get any reimbursement for your injuries.

However, insurance companies are a business and they worry about the profits of their business and Von’s is also worried about their bottom line. Insurance companies will try to settle a claim quickly and for the least amount of money.

The adjuster may seem nice and helpful, but make no mistake they will gather as much evidence by way of statements from you to either deny your claim or give you a lowball offer.

Never take the first offer and always speak with a lawyer before you make any attempt to give statements to an insurance adjuster.

Von’s is owned by Albertsons and has many stores in southern California and Nevada.

They have large corporate insurance and legal teams to help fight against injury claims.

You need a lawyer who has experience in dealing with big corporations and is not afraid to go after them if they are responsible for your injuries.
