Grocery Store Injury Claims Guide
How to file a grocery store injury lawsuit.
Seek Medical Attention
Get medical care immediately. Document all injuries with photos and keep all medical records. Some injuries have delayed symptoms.
Report to Store Management
Report the incident to the store manager immediately. Request a written incident report. Get the manager's name, contact information, and incident report number.
Document the Scene
Take photos and videos of the hazard (wet floor, fallen product, debris). Note the time, location, and whether any warning signs were present.
Get Witness Information
Collect contact information from other shoppers who saw what happened. Employee witnesses may be reluctant to provide statements.
Consult Premises Attorney
Large chains have aggressive legal teams. An experienced attorney can obtain security footage before it's deleted and investigate prior incidents.
