Orlando Big Box Store Injury Lawyer
Large retail stores like Walmart, Target, Costco, and Home Depot attract thousands of customers daily throughout Orlando. While these stores offer convenience, they also create many opportunities for accidents when safety standards are ignored. Wet floors, falling merchandise, and poor maintenance can quickly lead to serious injuries. If you’ve been hurt while shopping, an experienced Orlando big box store injury lawyer at Spencer Morgan Law can help you pursue compensation and hold negligent corporations accountable.
Understanding Big Box Store Injury Claims
Big box retailers have a legal duty to maintain safe premises for customers, employees, and delivery workers. When store management fails to address hazards or train staff properly, preventable accidents occur. Spencer Morgan Law investigates these cases with precision, gathering evidence from surveillance cameras, maintenance logs, and employee statements to prove negligence. We handle claims against major retail chains and their insurance companies, ensuring our clients are treated fairly.
Common Causes of Big Box Store Accidents
- Slippery floors due to spills or recent cleaning
- Poorly stacked merchandise falling from shelves
- Damaged carts, ladders, or store equipment
- Obstructed aisles and cluttered walkways
- Faulty escalators or unsafe entrances
- Inadequate lighting or missing warning signs
Big box stores often rely on national corporate insurers who try to minimize claims. Our firm ensures your case is backed by solid evidence and clear documentation of how the store’s negligence caused your injuries.
Steps to Take After a Big Box Store Accident
- Report the incident immediately to a store manager or supervisor.
- Request that an incident report be completed and obtain a copy.
- Take photos of the hazard, your injuries, and the surrounding area.
- Get names and contact information from witnesses and store staff.
- Seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
- Keep all medical records, receipts, and correspondence related to the incident.
- Contact Spencer Morgan Law for legal guidance before speaking with insurance adjusters.
Common Injuries from Store Accidents
Falls, falling objects, and other store-related accidents can cause injuries such as concussions, broken bones, neck and back injuries, sprains, or spinal cord trauma. Some victims also suffer emotional distress or anxiety from sudden trauma. Our firm ensures your injuries are thoroughly documented and evaluated by professionals to strengthen your claim and maximize your recovery.
Liability in Big Box Store Cases
Liability in store accidents often falls on the corporation that owns the property or the third-party maintenance company responsible for cleaning and upkeep. In some cases, defective equipment or shelving systems may make a manufacturer partially liable. Spencer Morgan Law identifies all responsible parties and pursues every available source of compensation.
Compensation for Victims
Victims injured in big box stores may be entitled to recover:
- Medical bills and ongoing treatment expenses
- Lost income and reduced future earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma
- Rehabilitation and physical therapy
- Loss of enjoyment of life
We fight to ensure your compensation fully reflects the impact your injuries have had on your daily life and future well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I still file a claim if I didn’t notice the hazard right away?
Yes. Many accidents happen when a dangerous condition is not clearly visible. We can investigate whether the store failed to warn customers or ignored prior complaints about the hazard.
Are stores automatically responsible for all injuries on their property?
Not always. You must show that the store or its employees knew or should have known about the hazard and failed to correct it in a reasonable time.
What if I was injured by falling merchandise?
You may have a strong claim if store employees improperly stacked or overloaded shelves. These cases often involve poor training or disregard for safety policies.
Can I file a claim if I was injured in a store parking lot?
Yes. Stores are responsible for maintaining safe parking lots, lighting, and sidewalks. If you slipped, tripped, or were assaulted due to negligent security, you may still be eligible for compensation.
What should I do if the store’s insurance company contacts me?
Avoid giving recorded statements or signing documents before consulting your attorney. Insurance companies may use your words against you to limit or deny your claim.
