Costco Accidents and Injuries in MiamiWhile the risks to customers in Costco are similar to other supermarkets and grocery stores, there are additional hazards which are unique to big box stores. One of these hazards involves boxes and merchandise falling from shelves and causing serious and severe injuries. The densely packed shelves that can be nearly 3 stories tall are well equipped to bear the load. The bigger hazard is how these shelves are stocked. If the products are not organized and balanced properly, they could fall on to unsuspecting customers below and result in serious injuries. This is just one of the potential dangers that could be awaiting consumers.
On any given weekend, Costco offers a wide variety of food samples for the customers as an enticement for sales. Unfortunately, sometimes these samples end up on the floor creating a potentially dangerous condition. Legally question becomes whether Costco new or should have known about a dangerous condition. Using our common sense, we can understand that it is not fair to any store owner to hold them responsible when a customer drops food on the floor only seconds before someone falls. On the other hand, if that food sample remains on the floor for 20 to 30 minutes and other customers track through it or employees walk through it, then it makes more sense that the store owner should be held responsible for failing to keep the floors clean and safe.
