Scenarios that Can Result in an Injury

There are many examples of stores stacking heavy or sharp cornered boxes high up on shelves, where they are difficult to retrieve by customers and employees. When these objects fall, serious injury or even death may result. It is important for you to know that retail and warehouse stores owe their customers a legal duty to maintain reasonably safe shopping conditions. This duty may be violated when the stores negligently shelve and stack merchandise which creates a dangerous condition. The type of merchandise, the type and height of the shelf and the negligence of the store's employees all factor into determining responsibility for injuries as a result of falling merchandise

Causes for falling merchandise accidents may include the following among others:

• Improperly stacked merchandise on high shelves
• Heavy or dangerous merchandise stored too high
• Employee conduct causing merchandise to fall
• Broken or unstable shelving systems
