Protecting Shoppers from Negligence

Big box stores and wholesale clubs offer lower prices by cutting the staffing and frills of traditional retail spaces. In an attempt to woe value-conscious customers, some stores have gone too far, creating dangerous conditions in an effort to keep prices low. Brais Law Firm is a Miami-based law firm that handles complex premises liability claims in Florida, Texas and Massachusetts. Our record speaks for itself, having recovered nearly $40 million for clients in the past four years*. Our Miami premises liability attorneys have been designated as Rising Stars, Super Lawyers and Legal Elites and have earned membership in the prestigious Multi-Million Dollars Advocates Form. To cut costs, the retail corporation may have put your safety in jeopardy. Our attorneys pursue such damages as lost income, medical bills, rehabilitation, disability, disfigurement, pain and suffering resulting from your injuries. Check out some of our recent Results to get a feel for the type of work our firm handles.

Faulty Building Conditions

The large warehouses that house big box stores are typically enormous, cluttered and stacked to the ceiling with goods. You could almost get lost in the store without a map to find the exit. The size of these warehouses is an aspect that helps the company sell more, but invites a fire trap for shoppers. These retailers make their money on volume, having considerably narrowed the profit margin between production costs and selling price. The overstocked shelves and crowded aisles, however, create a serious safety hazard. A box that falls off a 10-foot high shelf can result in serious head or spinal cord injuries and items strewn across your path are trip hazards.

Slip & Fall Accidents

All stores have a duty to make regular inspections for unsafe conditions, including checking for dropped containers and jars of liquids that create slip hazards. With minimal staff to inspect large premises, spilled liquids often go unnoticed for unacceptable stretches of time.

Stairwell & Ramp Accidents

Stairwells and ramps present common locations for accidents at large corporate retailers. Customers leaving wholesale clubs and big box stores are often loaded down with packages. Poorly constructed or maintained outlets unnecessarily increase the chances of falls.
