Shoppers May Be Injured By Merchandise Falling From Store Shelves

Stores — especially large, warehouse-style stores — can be dangerous environments for shoppers. High shelves, heavy items, and crowding can all contribute to hazardous conditions, falling objects, and injuries. All of these factors make accidents caused by falling objects more and more common in retail settings.

The following circumstances may cause falling object injuries:

Unevenly or highly stacked items
Items that are not secured
Hazardous equipment use when picking up items
Narrow or crowded aisles

If you’ve been hurt by falling merchandise in a store, we will thoroughly investigate the circumstances of your accident and help you obtain compensation for your injuries.

Construction Workers Are Especially Vulnerable to Falling Objects

Construction workers, when working under buildings, scaffolds, or heavy machinery, are at risk for falling object injuries. The weight and hazardous nature of most construction equipment and materials can contribute to catastrophic injuries and death. In cases of falling object injuries on construction sites, employers, equipment manufacturers, and safety inspectors could be liable for damages.
