Falls on Boxes or Pallets in Store Aisles We Get You Back on Your Feet

Trip and Falls on Boxes or Pallets in Aisles of Stores -- You Need an Experienced Attorney to Help You Not Trip Up

You’ve seen it wherever you shop.

Wal-Mart. The Dollar Store. Dollar General. Dollar Tree. Target. Meijer.

Wherever the “Big Box” stores exist, there is constant 24/7 inventory restocking.

No longer does replenishing or re-stocking the shelves happen during closed hours – some stores are open 24-hours (even post-COVID), and those items of merchandise cannot wait for no customers to be in the store before doing it.

While Wal-Mart used to try and do re-stocking of inventory only the night shift, that tradition has seemed to be “gone with the wind,” too in this post-COVID era.

How many times have you had to push your shopping cart around a worker who can barely see over his/her inventory cart filled to the top with merchandise to place onto the shelves?

And the “Dollar Stores” are notorious for placing the inventory boxes directly in the aisles – waiting for the next break in customers so the poor cashier can run and start stocking aisles until the next customer gets in line.

Boxes In Store Aisles

Furthermore, many businesses such as Aldi’s and many other grocery stores now don’t even bother to re-stock – they simply place the items on the floor in the box or pallet in which they came.

And pallets can be especially dangerous because they are off-the-ground and stick out more than a shelf might be expected to be.

Pallets and stocking boxes are commonplace in grocery stores and other places of business. While they are a useful tool for stocking goods, they also can pose a danger if they are used improperly, if things are improperly stocked, or if pallets and stocking boxes are left out when not in use.
