Our Team Could Fight for You if You Suffered a Slip and Fall in Publix

Grocery stores like Publix supermarkets attract thousands of shoppers every day. As the most popular supermarket chain in Florida, with 833 stores and over 230,000 employees, Publix experiences high volumes of customers, which could cause employees to overlook the spills and other slippery obstacles that can cause customers to slip, trip, and fall. 

Publix supermarkets have a responsibility to keep shoppers safe while in their stores. If you sustained an injury at a Publix store due to negligence, we could help.

While You Recover, We’ll Handle Your Entire Case Against Publix

Whether Publix or another defendant is liable for your losses, we’ll take the legal process out of your hands. You won’t have to worry about any part of your case, as we’ll handle:

• The initial investigation into your slip and fall accident at Publix: We’ll talk with witnesses, gather any useful video footage, photograph any clear hazards, and take other steps to document your accident (and prove liability).
• Communications: Whether we’re dealing with insurance companies, other attorneys, liable parties, or others with a stake in your case, we’ll conduct all communications on your behalf.
• Settlement negotiations: Settling is a viable option for many slip and fall accident victims. If Publix or another liable defendant offers an acceptable settlement, we might advise you to accept it.
• Trial: If trial becomes necessary in your case, we’ll make your case in court. Though trial is not common in civil cases, Chalik & Chalik Injury Lawyers have trial experience—we know what we’re doing in the courtroom.

Our firm will defend your rights as if they were our own. Nobody will take advantage of you, talk you into an unfair settlement, or undermine your case while we represent you. 

What Sort of Injuries Have Publix Supermarket Shoppers Sustained?

Fortunately, most slip and trip accidents at supermarkets do not result in serious or life-altering injuries. However, occasionally serious injuries can occur as a result of slipping on spilled food, liquids, or cleaning supplies.

Additionally, slipping and tripping accidents can occur as a result of unsafe conditions that are either permanent, i.e., broken equipment, chairs, etc., or temporary, like wet/slippery floors or surfaces.

If you suffered a serious injury due to dangerous conditions in the store caused by negligence, you could have a case against Publix to seek compensation for your injury and assist in your recovery. The following are common types of injuries sustained as a result of slip and fall accidents:

• Fractured limbs
• Back/spinal injuries
• Brain injuries
• Hip/knee injuries
• Broken wrists or other joints

If you have sustained these or similar serious injuries as a result of a slip and fall accident at a Publix store, you might be entitled to compensation that could include:

• Medical bills
• Wage loss
• Pain and suffering
• Potential future medical expenses

What to Do After a Slip and Fall Accident at Publix:

After suffering a slip and fall in Publix, remember the following:

1. Seek immediate medical treatment for your injury.
2. Do not sign anything from Publix store management or anybody representing them, including their lawyers or insurance company, until you have spoken with an attorney.
3. Don’t take them on alone. Call our team and put one of our personal injury lawyers in your corner.
