NYC Big Box Warehouse Accidents Attorney

Large Warehouse Accidents can happen anywhere, from airports to restaurants, from grocery stores to motels.

It’s no surprise that stores like Walmart, Lowe’s, COSTCO, BJ’s and Home Depot have a high number of avoidable accidents. These warehouse stores attract thousands of consumers each day, often in all kinds of inclement weather tracking water, ice or snow onto slick concrete floors. The potential for trip and fall accidents may be magnified by the mad dash of customers on days when special sales events are taking place. The sheer size of these stores increases the likelihood that employees will not notice hazardous spills resulting in broken bones or head and back injuries to an innocent shopper.

The layouts of the warehouse-style retail stores create another risk for shoppers — that of falling merchandise. Open warehouse layouts, high shelving and moving equipment, including forklifts, push carts and rolling ladders, combining to create the huge potential for serious injuries when products fall from high shelves. In some falling merchandise cases, customers have suffered severe injuries to their head, feet, neck, back or shoulders.

What Causes Merchandise to Fall?

Items on high shelves can be stacked recklessly so they can easily come loose, and a customer or employee may move an item that was keeping another product safely in place. Whatever the reason for these incidents, hundreds of complaints about falling merchandise have been filed in recent years, especially against Wal-Mart, COSTCO and other big-box retailers.
