When Is Dollar General Liable for a Slip and Fall Accident?

Dollar General may be liable if it contributed to your slip and fall accident in any way. Even if you are partially responsible for your fall, Dollar General could be legally responsible for:

• Failing to identify any slipping hazards on its premises
• Failing to adequately protect customers and employees from a slipping hazard that it was aware of
• Failing to train staff on best safety practices 
• Installing flooring that reduced the risk of falls 
• Failing to install anti-slip protections, like handrails or rugs, in its stores
• Failing to anticipate certain problems, such as rain being tracked into the store 

If a slipping hazard caused your fall in a Dollar General store in Fort Lauderdale, we’ll determine if Dollar General is responsible. It very well could be.

What Is the Standard for Liability in Slip and Fall Accident Cases?

Negligence is generally the liability standard in cases like yours. We can prove Dollar General’s negligence by:

1. Establishing that Dollar General owed you a duty of care
2. Showing that Dollar General’s employees failed to honor their duty of care by exposing you to a slipping hazard
3. Showing that an avoidable hazard caused your slip and fall 
4. Explaining the damages you’ve suffered because of your fall

Once we have the necessary facts, we will assert that because another party’s negligence caused you harm, you deserve damages. 

Why Should I Hire a Lawyer to Manage My Slip and Fall Accident Case?
