Dollar General is one of the leading budget-retailers in the country. With over 16,000 stores in 46 states, Dollar General delivers a variety of products, such as beauty products, snacks, decorations, and cleaning supplies at affordable prices.

Dollar General estimates that customers spend an average of 10 minutes in their store to complete their shopping trip. As a result, they keep the average size of their stores smaller to make shopping convenient for customers. Yet, the high number of people in the stores and the vast array of products makes it tight for shoppers to move around. Low shelving, merchandise sitting on the floor, and tight aisles may pose safety hazards. Shoppers may get hurt if they trip and fall. People who are seriously hurt will need medical treatment to recover from their injuries. They may miss work or need care after they come home from the hospital.

When a retail store doesn’t take steps to ensure their customers’ safety, people can get hurt. Common accidents include;

• Walkway obstacles – Dollar General Stores may have a limited amount of space between shelving units and aisles, given their small size. Customers may trip and fall as they move around while shipping. If employees stock the shelves and displays while shoppers are in the store, boxes and carts used to bring out products may pose as tripping hazards if customers can’t get around them.
• Slick floors – Spilled or leaking liquids from shampoo bottles, cleaning products, or beverages can create slippery floors. If not cleaned up promptly, a customer can slip and fall. Newly mopped floors can pose a risk if employees don’t put up warning signs for customers.
• Falling objects – Some Dollar General stores display merchandise on high shelves. If not secured safely or if the merchandise is too heavy, you may be hurt if the product falls and hits. Hanging signs may also pose a risk if they are loose. Even light objects can cause injuries from a high shelf. A child may pull down a display onto themselves if it is not correctly secured.
