Slipped in a Grocery Store? Here’s What You Should Know About Premises Liability in Missouri

Falls in grocery stores can cause serious injuries and are often preventable. This article explains your legal rights and what to do if you’re injured in a commercial setting.

Common Hazards That Lead to Grocery Store Falls

Slip and fall injuries in grocery stores often happen due to:

  • Spilled liquids (such as broken jars or leaking coolers)
  • Wet floors without warning signs after mopping
  • Food debris in aisles
  • Poor lighting in walkways
  • Uneven floor mats or torn carpeting
  • Ice or water tracked in from outside

If store employees fail to clean up a known hazard—or don’t warn customers in time—they may be considered negligent under Missouri premises liability laws.

Injuries That May Result

Falls in commercial settings like grocery stores can lead to serious outcomes, including:

  • Fractured wrists, hips, or ankles
  • Head injuries or concussions
  • Back or spinal damage
  • Soft tissue tears and chronic pain
  • Permanent mobility issues in older adults

Even a fall that seems minor at first can lead to long-term complications, especially for elderly individuals or people with prior injuries.

Steps to Take After a Grocery Store Fall

  1. Report the fall to a store employee or manager immediately. Ask that an incident report be created.
  2. Document the scene—take photos of the floor, lighting, and any visible hazards.
  3. Get medical care right away to assess your injuries.
  4. Collect contact info from any witnesses.
  5. Keep records of all related expenses, including medical bills and time off work.
  6. Avoid giving statements to the store’s insurance company until you’ve reviewed your options.

What You’ll Need to Prove

To pursue a slip and fall claim, you’ll typically need to show that:

  • The store knew or should have known about the dangerous condition
  • The store failed to address or warn about the hazard
  • The hazard directly caused your injury

These claims can involve video surveillance, maintenance logs, and staff testimony to determine whether the store met its duty of care.

Falls in public places are often preventable—and when they result from carelessness or poor maintenance, the injured person has the right to seek compensation.
