Why Choose Our Store Injury Law Firm in California?

Store injury claims can get complicated because retailers and insurers focus on protecting the business and limiting payouts. Our mall injury lawyer protects your rights, secures evidence, and builds a clear case showing how the hazard happened and what it cost you.

Our store injury attorney will provide straight answers and a practical plan based on the proof that matters. Medical records, incident reports, photos/video, witness statements, and the store’s safety and maintenance practices.

We offer a free consultation and case evaluation, with our no-win, no-payment policy. While you recover, our personal injury lawyer fights for fair compensation and doesn’t let insurance companies pressure you into a lowball settlement.

Why You Need a Store Injury Lawyer

Stores, especially large chains, are prepared for claims. They often have insurance adjusters, risk managers, and lawyers focused on protecting the store and reducing their payouts. After an injury, they may push you to give a statement, downplay the hazard, or offer a quick settlement before you know the full cost of your recovery.

That’s why having a store injury lawyer matters. We protect your rights, handle communication, and build a strong claim using evidence such as incident reports, video footage, witness statements, and maintenance records. Our store injury attorney’s goal is to fight for fair, just compensation that actually reflects your medical bills, lost income, and the impact on your life.

Common Causes of Store and Supermarket Accidents in California

Slip and fall accidents
Falls often happen when something is left on the floor, walkways aren’t inspected, or a dangerous area isn’t blocked off.
Freshly mopped areas, leaking coolers, or rainwater near doors can create fall hazards.
Drinks, sauces, produce, and melted ice can become almost invisible hazards if staff don’t clean them up fast.
Curled mats, torn carpet, cracked tiles, and uneven transitions between surfaces can trip shoppers.
Poorly stacked items or overloaded shelves can cause products to drop onto customers, resulting in serious injuries.
Poor lighting in various areas can hide hazards and increase the risk of falls.
Missing or poorly placed signs can leave customers unaware of wet floors, repairs, or other dangers.

Types of Store and Mall Accidents

  • Grocery store accidents. Most happen from spills, wet floors, loose mats, or cluttered aisles.
  • Supermarket accidents. Similar risks, plus more crowds, busy checkout areas, and stock being moved through aisles.
  • Shopping mall accidents. Injuries often occur in common areas, such as escalators/elevators, stairs, and parking lots, due to poor maintenance or unsafe conditions.
  • Big box retail store accidents. Common problems include falling merchandise, items left on the floor, and hazards from stocking equipment in wide aisles.
Information

Common Injuries in Store Accidents

  • Broken bones and fractures. Often caused by hard falls on tile or concrete, especially wrists, ankles, and hips.
  • Head injuries and concussions. It can happen if you hit your head on the floor, a shelf, or a cart during a fall or if something heavy falls on you.
  • Back and spinal injuries. Falls and sudden twisting can injure the lower back, discs, or neck.
  • Soft tissue injuries. Sprains, strains, and torn ligaments or tendons can still take weeks or months to heal.
  • Cuts and bruises. Common with falls, sharp edges, or broken glass and packaging.
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI). More serious brain injuries can happen after a strong impact, with symptoms that may last long after the fall.

Who May Be Liable for a Store Injury?

Store injury claims in California usually fall under premises liability, which means we have to show three basics. A dangerous condition existed. The store knew or should have known about it. The hazard caused your injury.

More than one party can be responsible, especially in large retail spaces. Potentially liable parties can include:

  • The store owner. Responsible for keeping the premises reasonably safe.
  • The corporation operating the store. Many locations are run by a larger company rather than a local owner.
  • Property owner or landlord. May be responsible for building issues, parking lots, and common areas.
  • Management companies. Sometimes a separate company handles upkeep and safety policies.
  • Maintenance or cleaning companies. Liability can change if a contractor created the hazard or failed to fix it.
  • Third-party vendors. Stocking, delivery, and in-store demo teams can cause unsafe conditions.
  • Equipment or product manufacturers. If a defective fixture, cart, shelf, or display caused harm.

What to Do After an Injury at a Store in California

1. Get Medical Care Right Away
Go to the ER, urgent care, or your doctor as soon as you can, and follow treatment instructions. Waiting gives the insurance company room to argue you weren’t seriously hurt. Medical statements can help prove otherwise.
2. Report the Injury to a Manager
Ask them to create an incident report and request a copy if they’ll provide it. Stick to the facts and don’t guess or admit fault. Choose your words carefully, as they may and will be used against you by their lawyers.
3. Document the Scene Before it Changes
Take photos/video of the hazard, the surrounding area, any warning signs (or lack thereof), and your injuries. Hazards often get fixed fast.
4. Get Names and Contact Info
Collect details for witnesses and any employees involved.
5. Save Everything
Keep receipts, damaged shoes/clothing (do not throw away or clean them!), medical paperwork, and any messages from the store.
6. Don’t Give Recorded Statements
If the store or an adjuster calls, don’t explain what happened in detail or sign anything.
7. Don’t Accept Quick Money
Early offers and releases can lock you out of seeking more later.
8. Contact Our Mall Injury Lawyer
We can preserve evidence, investigate what went wrong, handle insurance communication, and protect your claim from costly mistakes.
Information

Compensation Available After a Store Injury Accident

Medical costs
ER visits, imaging, surgery, medication, physical therapy, follow-ups, and future care if you’ll need ongoing treatment.
Paychecks you missed, plus reduced earning ability if you can’t return to the same work or hours.
Compensation for physical pain and the everyday impact, like stress, sleep problems, and limits on normal activities and hobbies.
Travel to appointments, medical equipment, home help, and other costs related to the injury.
If you’re left with disability, chronic pain, or permanent limitations, the claim can reflect how it changes your future life.

How to File a Store Injury Claim in California

Start by seeking medical care and make sure the injury is documented. Report the incident to a manager and ask that an incident report be created. If possible, get a copy.

Next, preserve evidence. Take photos or video of the hazard and the surrounding area, keep the shoes and clothing you wore, and collect the names and contact info of witnesses (if any). Save receipts, tickets, and any messages from the store.

Be careful with insurance. Don’t give recorded statements, don’t sign releases, and don’t accept a quick offer before you understand the full cost of your injury.

The safest move is to contact our supermarket accident lawyer early. Small mistakes can significantly hurt your case, and we can protect your claim, handle the store and insurers, and push for fair compensation while you safely recover.

It’s very simple. Brent wins. An Utmost professional attorney and team. Attentive and responsive. Brent listens to you, gives you his honest opinion and fights for what you are asking for. He is incredibly smart and a beast in litigation. When showtime came, I was completely impressed by how he presented my case and how he never backed down and how ultimately he got what I wanted. He took on my case when others did not. And he won for me. His paralegal Cami, a gem. Always pleasant, professional, responsive and clear with information and instruction. A Solid, effective and winning team. Brent never let me down. I am completely thankful and have tremendous respect for Brent who believed in me, fought for me and righted a wrong. You are a blessing to humanity. May an abundance of wronged people in this world flock to you and your team so that you can continue to win big for them and right their wrongs. God Bless.

We were referred to Attorney Brent Rawlings from our chiropractor after our accident. Cami was the one who supported our case and made sure we had everything we needed. She would go far and beyond to make sure we only had to care about healing post-accident. Our case was able to close on less than 6 months! I am very thankful for Cami and Attorney Rawlings for all their work.

At the end of May, my girlfriend and I were rear-ended on the freeway. We were injured and felt lost, as it was the first time we had ever experienced such a serious accident. After doing a lot of research, we finally reached out to Mr. Rawlings and his team. They handled our situation with great efficiency and professionalism, which immediately earned our trust.
I would like to especially thank Cami, who was incredibly helpful. She explained every step of the process from A to Z and kept us updated on our case almost every other week for several months. I’m truly grateful for how they managed and ultimately settled our case.
To conclude, Mr Rawlings is an amazing person to discuss with !

I was referred to Mr. Rawlings by another attorney after he felt that Mr. Rawlings’ firm would be best suited for my case. Prior to contacting Mr. Rawlings, I was told that my case-a rental car malfunctioning issue that caused painful burn wounds to my arm and almost missed maiming my wife and I—wasn’t strong. Mr. Rawlings and his staff agreed to take up my case and patiently navigated all the challenges and intimately got me a settlement from a major car rental chain. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Compensation is not everything and it does not erase the pain and suffering. But how your case should be handled to get a desired reasonable and favorable outcome is what I was impressed with Mr. Rawlings. I highly recommend him.

Brent was very helpful despite the complicated circumstances of my case and the tight deadlines that we had, but despite all of the issues he still came through with getting me SOMETHING to show for years of mental hardship and financial stress. Even though we didn’t get as much as we hoped, Brent definitely helped me more than any lawyer I had worked with before and I definitely recommend Brent if you want someone who will keep you in the loop.
Cami/Maria the paralegal was also amazing and so helpful with explaining everything!

What an amazing trusting team Brent and Cami!!! I had an incident in California and I live in Montana. I’ve never met either of them but their professionalism was amazing. The communication and actually feeling like they cared was beyond my expectations. I was more than a client I was a person. I would recommend them to anyone seeking legal counsel for a personal injury. I hope one day to meet them both in person to thank them personally. Thank you so much Brent and Cami.

Brent and Cami are absolute sharks and relentless advocates who fight tirelessly on your behalf. From start to finish, their legal team made me feel like a human being, not just another case. They took the time to truly understand me and my family, which brought a personal touch to their already exceptional expertise.

Throughout the entire process, they were absolute superstars in communication—always keeping me informed and ensuring I understood every step. Their dedication and compassion are unmatched, and I genuinely feel like I’ve gained lifelong friends in the process.

Although I hope I never require legal support again, I am thrilled to have Brent and Cami as a resource for the future. If you’re looking for a legal team that is not only skilled but also genuinely cares about you as a person, I cannot recommend Brent and Cami highly enough.

Can not say enough accolades about Brent and Cami. Both have been very professional, attentive, and so caring regarding my wife Rosette’s PI case. Through the years, we’ve had several attorneys representing us, but none, except for Brent, would call on weekends to just talk.
Never in a million years did I ever expect we would be awarded the maximum amount from our insurance policy. But somehow Brent accomplished the impossible, and for that, we are beyond grateful. Continued success to you Brent, you’re simply the best!!!
