California CVS Pharmacy Accident Hazards
CVS is a place where customers can get the medicine they need. But CVS must also accept responsibility for their customer’s well-being while walking the aisles inside.
Pharmacies must show a legal “duty of care” to monitor for hazards around the store its employees create and the dangers customers can leave behind. They must remove them or clean them up in a reasonable amount of time before someone can come along and get hurt. When they are negligent in this duty and someone gets hurt, victims can seek full compensation for their hardships.
These are just a few of the dangers that may pop up that could hurt a customer:
- Slipping Hazards – Customers can leave puddles by spilling a latte on the shiny floors. Children might drop round candy where victims could step on one. In the pharmacy, Epsom salt or small pills might end up on the floor where people can have their feet rolled out from under them. A customer may drop a bottle of rubbing alcohol. Refrigerator cases can leak water onto the floor. Victims can suffer head injuries if they smack their heads on the flooring or a shelf. Fractures to the bones in the hip joint are another common devastating result for victims.
- Tripping Hazards – Store workers might leave boxes on the floor while stocking, creating a tripping obstacle. A shopper could leave items along shelving where victims may not be able to spot them. A display may take up too much of those narrow aisles causing someone to trip. A rolled-up carpet might be the thing that sends someone falling forward.
- Bathroom Hazards – Public bathrooms will routinely have water and soap on the floor. People are at risk of serious head injuries when falling around hard, porcelain fixtures.
- Shopping Cart Hazards – Someone careless with a shopping cart can run over a foot or ram an ankle to cause a serious injury. CVS could be liable for those injuries. A cart left in a parking lot can also present an obstacle to people with mobility issues.
- Parking Lot Hazards – CVS is also liable for your journey into the store from the parking lot. Potholes, crumbling steps, cracked sidewalks, and even landscaping timbers can trip customers up. Owners must fix these potential tripping hazards before someone stumbles to the ground. The store could also be liable for negligent security if you are the victim of a crime while going to your car. CVS could be liable for failing to provide enough security or maintaining too little lighting outside.
- Pharmacy Medical Malpractice – You may also be the victim of medical malpractice if a pharmacist makes a mistake with your dosage or gives you the wrong medication. A California medical malpractice lawyer at Maison Law helps you hold CVS fully responsible for any harm caused by their negligence.
What Is My Case Worth After a Trip And Fall at a CVS Pharmacy?
While facing a stack of medical bills after a fall and missing time at work, it’s normal to wonder how much CVS may provide to help with recovery.
It’ll be hard for a lawyer to give you a true idea of what your case is worth until your lawyer has been filled in about what happened and has had a chance to investigate CVS’s role. Every case is different.
The settlement amount you receive will depend partially on how long your injury takes to heal. Every injury is different and every person heals on different timetables. The length of time your injury will affect your life will determine how much support you’ll need. If you suffered a permanent physical disability, your lawyer would be demanding support to last you for a lifetime.
These and other factors all decide how much you’ll receive in an accident injury settlement check:
- Totals on medical expenses including estimates on care expected to be needed in the future.
- Costs associated with a permanent physical disability such as medical equipment, and renovations at home and work. The cost of home care over a lifetime.
- Support for emotional and physical distress endured by the victim. The physical pain experienced and the anxiety and depression that may follow a traumatic incident and injury.
- Compensation for the loss of enjoyment of life.
- Compensation for the loss of consortium. The loss of intimacy with a spouse due to injury.
- Travel expenses. Money spent getting to appointments and seeing specialists.
- Paychecks and benefits forfeited while the victim must miss work shifts.
- Damage to personal items.
