What are the most common causes of grocery store accidents in Maryland?
Grocery store accidents can happen as a result of many different factors. However, the most common causes typically trace back to store owner and/or employee negligence. Our firm has represented clients who have been injured in many different types of grocery stores accidents, which were the result of the following:
- Unsteady displays
- Slip and fall accidents as a result of spills in aisles or restrooms that have been left abandoned

- Spoiled food left for innocent customers to purchase or sample
- Trip and fall accidents, often due to poorly placed, or missing floor mats
Can I file a legal claim for my grocery store injury?
The state of Maryland holds property owners to a high standard. This means that grocery store owners and employees will be held liable for ensuring that their property is safe for those who enter it. As a result, those who own grocery stores or are employees of one must make routine checks for hazards and dangerous conditions that may put customers in danger. In the event that there are dangerous conditions that are not alleviated within a reasonable amount of time, a store owner may be held liable for negligence.

What type of financial compensation can I recover in Maryland?
