Bass Pro Shops Dangers
Bass Pro Shops are part outdoor stores and part attractions. They can be a great place to bring the family, find some fishing gear and clothing, and stare at the animals.
The cool nature displays are designed to get you in the door and to get you to spend your money, but Bass Pro Shops owes you something in return. They must keep you safe.
Under California Public Safety Codes, all store owners and proprietors must provide a “duty of care” to anyone they invite through their doors. They are responsible for the hazards their employees create, and for any dangers that customers present.
In a big box store with a lot of customers, a lot of products, drinks and food, the dangers will appear daily.
Here are just a few of the problem areas in a Bass Pro Shops that could cause an injury:
- Outside the store – That duty of care starts when you pull your car, truck, or SUV into the parking lot. Parking areas should be free of major potholes and crumbling pavement and sidewalks. These obstacles are perfect for tripping you up and sending you falling forward to land on a knee or even your face. Rain is also a hazard as people track water from their parking places and leave it all over the entranceway. Landscaping is another potential trip-and-fall hazard.
- Inside the Store – Customers carrying drinks and food can drop those slippery items on the floor. Children can leave candy on the floor to roll the feet out from under unsuspecting visitors. Puddles might be left on those slick floors in the bathrooms. Some Bass Pro Shops include restaurants where guests might be hurt. Employees must mop up or sweep up these risks before someone gets hurt. Stockers can leave boxes on the floor that are out of the line of sight until a victim trips and takes a blow to the head. Bass Pro displays are also potential tripping dangers. Overhead merchandise could also fall and cause a serious head injury.
Who Is Responsible If I’m Hurt at Bass Pro Shop?
A child may be standing and staring at the aquarium while spilling soda on the floor. The next person to walk up might not see the puddle and take a fall to hit the ground hard. Managers and employees should always monitor for these potential risks to customers and have them cleaned up in a reasonable amount of time.
When a store is negligent in this duty, people can get seriously hurt. The store and the corporation behind it are directly liable for these injuries. Bass Pro Shops will have liability insurance providers to provide help to injured victims as they receive medical bills and deal with long periods when they are out of work.
Of course, this sporting goods retailer won’t always accept responsibility automatically. They’ll have corporate lawyers ready to blame your accident on your clumsiness or try to talk you into accepting far less than you need to pay for recovery. Your California slip-and-fall lawyer is your protection against this unfair treatment. Your lawyer fully investigates your accident and makes sure you receive the support needed to rebuild your life.
How Much Is My Bass Pro Shops Injury Worth?
It’s hard to offer an accurate estimate on what Bass Pro Shops may have to pay you until an experienced slip-and-fall lawyer has been able to investigate your case. Your settlement check amount will depend partly on how long it takes you to heal and the total cost of your medical care.
Your Maison Law representative fully investigates your case and creates a full list of every hardship you and your family have endured since the accident.
These are some other factors that will determine how much your lawyer will demand from a corporate chain:
- Totals on medical expenses including estimates on care expected to be needed in the future.
- Costs associated with a permanent physical disability such as medical equipment, and renovations at home and work. Potential costs for education to learn a new career.
- Emotional and physical distress. The physical pain you experience and the anxiety and depression that may follow a traumatic incident and injury.
- Loss of enjoyment of life.
- Loss of consortium. The loss of intimacy with a spouse due to injury.
- Travel expenses. Money spent getting to appointments and seeing specialists that may be far away.
- Paychecks and benefits you’ve forfeited while missing work.
- Damage to personal items.
