Details
No one walks into a department store expecting to leave on a stretcher.
Our client was shopping when a store display fell and struck them in the head, causing deep lacerations and a concussion.
Department stores have a legal and moral obligation to ensure that their displays, shelving, and merchandise are secure and cannot fall onto customers.
This type of incident is entirely preventable with proper setup, regular inspections, and adherence to basic safety standards.
Our client suffered not only a painful physical injury but the lingering effects of a concussion, which can affect cognitive function, sleep, and daily life for weeks or months.
Edgett Hawk held the store accountable and secured a $150,000.00 settlement.
Businesses that invite the public through their doors accept full responsibility for keeping those customers safe while they are inside.
