Injured at a Store in Staten Island, New York

Store related injuries can happen to a person at almost any age in their life - whether young, middle aged, or old you are still at risk of getting injured while at a store if a store owner or store employee is negligent. While age may not be a factor in your ability to get injured in a store age may contribute to the extent of injury you sustain. Usually young children and the elderly are most susceptable to severe injuries because their bones are not as strong as a teenager or middle-aged adult causing injuries that are not only more severe but injuries that take longer to heal.

Getting injured at a store can happen quite a few different ways. Some of the most common ways that store related injuries happen are from:

• Spills that aren't cleaned up from the floor in a timely manner;
• Displays that are stacked up too high or improperly;
  
• Broken shopping carts; or
  
• Uneven sidewalk or broken asphalt in the parking lot;
