Common Grocery Store Injuries in Maryland and DC

Grocery stores have a legal obligation to keep their premises reasonably safe for customers. Unfortunately, accidents happen all the time because owners and managers cut corners or ignore hazards. Some of the most common cases we see include:

  • Slip and falls on wet floors, spilled products, or uneven surfaces at stores like Walmart, Safeway, Giant Food, ShopRite, and Target
  • Trip and falls due to loose mats, cluttered aisles, or broken tiles at Trader Joe’s, Aldi, Costco, Sam’s Club, and Lidl
  • Falling merchandise from poorly stacked shelves at Wegmans, Harris Teeter, Food Depot, and Shoppers Food
  • Cuts or lacerations from broken glass or sharp objects left in walkways at Whole Foods, Mom’s Organic Market, and Save A Lot
  • Negligent security incidents, such as assaults or robberies in poorly lit parking lots or unattended areas at Mall at Prince Georges, Capitol Supermarket, BJ Corporation, and GW GreatWall Supermarket

If you were injured in any of these ways — or in any other incident that happened in a Maryland or DC grocery store — you may be entitled to compensation.

What Is Premises Liability?

Premises liability is the legal concept that holds property owners and managers responsible for maintaining a safe environment. In Maryland and DC, grocery stores must regularly inspect their property, fix known hazards, and warn customers about potential dangers.

To win a premises liability case, you generally need to prove:

  1. The store owed you a duty of care (as a customer, you have this protection).
  2. The store breached that duty by failing to fix or warn about a dangerous condition.
  3. You suffered injuries as a direct result of that negligence.

This includes both national chains like Walmart, Costco, Sam’s Club, Food Lion, and Target and regional favorites like Eddie’s of Roland Park, Seven Mile Market, Geresbeck’s Food Market, and Graul’s Market Annapolis.

Negligent Security at Grocery Stores

Sometimes, the danger isn’t a puddle on the floor, but a lack of adequate security. Attacks, assaults, or robberies can and do occur at grocery stores and their parking lots. If a store owner fails to provide proper lighting, security cameras, or personnel in an area where crime is foreseeable, they may be liable for your injuries.

At the Law Offices of Kim Parker, P.A., we have experience handling both classic slip and fall cases and complex negligent security claims at locations such as H Mart, Street Market & Café, Harvest Fare Supermarket, Jumbo Fresh Supermarket, and Sprouts. We know how to gather evidence, work with experts, and negotiate with insurance companies to maximize your recovery.

Don’t Wait—There Are Strict Deadlines

Maryland and DC have statutes of limitations that restrict how long you have to file a personal injury lawsuit. In most cases, this deadline is three years from the date of the injury, but there are exceptions. Waiting too long can jeopardize your right to compensation, so it’s critical to contact an attorney as soon as possible.
