INJURED IN A COSTCO IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA?
COSTCO ACCIDENT & INJURY LAWYER GERALD L. MARCUS AND HIS TEAM WILL FIGHT FOR YOU!
Costco operates more than 450 warehouses nationwide carrying a variety of products including groceries, electronics, televisions, automotive supplies, tires, appliances, furniture and more.
The vast size of the retail warehouse along with the heavy crowds shopping at the facility throughout the week often make customers vulnerable to accidents including slips and falls, food poisoning and falling merchandise.
If you have suffered serious injuries while shopping at a Costco in Los Angeles or surrounding areas, you might have the right to seek compensation through a premises liability claim.
Premises liability refers to a complicated legal theory that property owners, managers and supervisors have the responsibility to ensure every lawful visitor is safe from harm while on the premises.
ELEMENTS OF SUCCESSFUL COMPENSATION CLAIM AGAINST COSTCO
Your injuries likely entitle you to seek recompense for the injuries you suffered while at the store.
However, Costco accident premises liability cases are complex.
A SUCCESSFUL CLAIM FOR COMPENSATION WILL REQUIRE THAT YOU PROVE THREE SPECIFIC ELEMENTS INCLUDING:
-You have suffered injuries that can be corroborated by a medical doctor.
-Your injuries were acquired because of a hazardous condition or negligent action while you were at Costco.
-The manager, property owner or others were negligent in their responsibilities to ensure you remained safe while on the premises.
Because the accident was NOT your fault, it should NOT be your responsibility to pay for any injury you suffered that is caused by unsafe conditions or careless employees of Costco.
However, you will be required to support your claim for compensation using medical records, eyewitness accounts, photographs and other evidence.
Because of that, many victims of Costco accidents will hire a seasoned Costco Accident & Injury Lawyer who specializes in accident claims and lawsuits.
HOW TO DOCUMENT YOUR COSTCO CLAIM
You will be required to support your claim for compensation using medical records, eyewitness accounts, photographs, video footage, and other evidence.
Right after a fall, you should report the fall to a manager. Try to take photos of the scene of accident. Preferably before employees have time to clean it up.
FREQUENT INJURIES SUSTAINED BY CUSTOMERS AT COSTCO STORES
Due to the breadth of products and services offered by Costco, the company is exposed to liability on the part of injured customers when it provides services such as: auto repair, pharmacy, food products, merchandise and home repair services.
Nonetheless, the most common types of Costco accidents involve slip and fall incidences where customers suffer serious injuries including head and brain trauma, broken bones, dislocated hips, wrist injuries, spinal cord injury, lacerations, cuts, bruises and other serious harm.
In many incidences, the victim will have to undergo various surgeries and therapies while taking dangerous prescription medications to manage the pain.
The elderly are especially vulnerable to serious health consequences and complications that occur from even a minor slip and fall incident.
THE MOST COMMON ACCIDENT INJURIES ARE THE RESULT OF:
-Wet or slippery surfaces
-Poor lighting
-Harsh weather conditions in the parking lot or entryway including rainy weather and wet surfaces
-Missing or broken stair railings
-Uneven surfaces
-Improper or negligent maintenance
