Grocery Store Slip and Fall

Michigan Grocery Store Slip and Fall Attorneys

Grocery stores see heavy foot traffic, frequent spills, and constant product stocking — all of which create slip and fall hazards. When a store fails to clean up spills promptly, mark wet areas, or maintain safe walking surfaces, they can be held liable for injuries that result.

Koussan Law represents grocery store slip and fall victims across Michigan. We have secured some of the largest premises liability recoveries in the state, including a $6,000,000 settlement, and we bring that same tenacity to every case.

Proving a Grocery Store's Negligence

The key in any grocery store fall case is showing the store knew or should have known about the hazard. Surveillance footage is often the most important evidence — it can show how long a spill existed before the fall, whether employees walked past without cleaning it, and whether warning signs were posted. Incident reports, employee schedules, and cleaning logs are also valuable.

Common Grocery Store Hazards

Produce and liquid spills in aisles, condensation near freezer sections, tracked-in rain or snow at entrances, freshly mopped floors without caution signs, fallen merchandise, and uneven floor mats are among the most frequent hazards. Stores have a duty to inspect regularly and remedy these conditions promptly.
