Retail Store Accidents
Commercial property owners have a legal duty to keep their stores reasonably safe for customers. When a hazardous condition — a spill, falling merchandise, an obstructed aisle, a malfunctioning elevator or escalator — causes an injury, the store may be held responsible for the resulting harm.
These cases can be difficult to settle fairly, since retail chains and their insurers often have significant resources to resist a claim. Pascale Law is known for trial-ready representation — when a fair settlement isn't offered, we're prepared to take the case to a jury.
- Slip-and-falls from spills or debris
- Injuries from falling or improperly stacked merchandise

- Elevator and escalator accidents
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the store always responsible?
Not automatically — liability generally depends on whether the store knew or should have known about the hazardous condition and failed to address it.
What if the store disputes my claim?
Retail accident cases can be contested aggressively; having trial-ready representation matters when a fair settlement isn't offered.
