- Poor lighting
- Contaminated food

- Aisle obstructions

What injuries can be sustained as a result of a supermarket accident?

- Fractured legs
- Fractured skull
- Fractured hips
- Fractured wrists and arms
- Cuts and bruises
What steps should I take after a supermarket accident?
If you would like to recover compensation for the burdens you have sustained in your injury, you will have to satisfy the burden of proof. You can accomplish this by informing the supermarket manager. This will permit the manager to file an accident report. If you are able, obtain a copy of this accident report. Furthermore, be sure to take photos and videos of the hazards that caused your accident to happen. You should also be sure to seek medical attention. This will provide that your injuries are treated while also providing you with evidence of the origin and extent of your injuries.
How long do I have to file my premises liability claim in New Jersey?
If you were injured in a supermarket accident, it is recommended that you look into your legal options. If you choose this route, you will need to move quickly. This is because the state of New Jersey has a deadline known as the statute of limitations. In New Jersey, the statute of limitations is typically two years from the date of the accident. This means that if you fail to file within two years you will likely lose your ability to recover the compensation you need and deserve in order to heal and move forward.
