Who’s Liable in a Big Box Store Injury?
Under California premises liability law, property owners and occupiers must take reasonable steps to keep their premises safe. This includes:
- Conducting routine inspections
- Fixing hazards promptly
- Placing proper warning signs
- Training staff to follow safety protocols
- Responding quickly to customer reports of dangerous conditions
When they fail to do so, they may be liable for negligence. We also investigate third-party contractors, cleaning crews, and vendors whose actions may have contributed to your injury.
Common Injuries from Retail Accidents
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Broken hips, arms, or legs

Common Big Box Store Accident Cases We Handle
? Falling Objects and Merchandise
Improperly stacked inventory, unsecured shelving, and overloaded displays can result in heavy items striking customers—often with catastrophic outcomes.
? Slip and Fall or Trip and Fall Accidents
Wet floors, spilled liquids, misplaced signage, loose floor mats, and poor lighting are all common causes of falls inside retail stores.
? Parking Lot and Entrance Hazards
Uneven pavement, curb defects, potholes, or icy walkways outside the store may still be the retailer’s responsibility.
? Shopping Cart and Equipment Malfunctions
Defective carts, pallet jacks, or forklifts used near customer areas can create dangerous conditions.
? Inadequate Security or Store Management
When stores ignore known dangers or fail to enforce safety protocols, they put everyone at risk.
