Facts and History of Sears Stores in the U.S.
Sears has been an operational company for over one-hundred years. The company started as a mail-order firm. Customers would receive catalogs listing products that they could order. Their orders would then be delivered through the mail.
In the current day, Sears operates brick-and-mortar stores and also maintains an online presence. Sears also went through bankruptcy proceedings in 2018, closing many stores in the process. Due to the success of the bankruptcy auction, around 425 Sears stores will remain open around the country.

Sears is currently going through a process of reorganization following bankruptcy proceedings. During this time of upheaval, hazards around Florida stores may be missed, increasing the odds that you will experience a slip and fall accident. If you slip, you should take the following steps as quickly as possible:
Report Your Accident
You need to inform a store employee – preferably the manager – that you slipped and fell immediately. Employees can file an incident report to make sure that your accident is documented correctly.
Record the Scene
You can gather evidence as soon as you slip and fall. If you can, you should take pictures of your injuries, the place where you fell, and the hazard that led to your accident. You should also get contact information from anyone who saw you fall.
Seek Medical Treatment
It’s important that you get medical care if you are hurt after slipping and falling. You can only get compensation if your lawyer can show your injuries were caused by your accident. If you have medical records showing you sought immediate treatment, it can make securing damages easier.
