Why Slip and Fall Accidents Happen at Walmart
Because of Walmart’s size, layout, and customer volume, hazards can arise anywhere in the store or parking area. Many of these dangers are preventable with proper inspections and maintenance. Common causes include:
- Wet or slick floors from spills, leaking coolers, produce misters, or tracked-in rain
- Aisle obstructions, such as stocking carts, boxes, or fallen merchandise
- Uneven flooring, cracked tiles, loose mats, or worn carpeting
- Poor lighting in store aisles, entrances, or exterior walkways
- Slippery grocery areas, especially near freezers or produce bins
- Poorly maintained parking lots with potholes, broken pavement, or oil spots
- Unsecured floor displays that collapse or create tripping hazards
Even simple hazards can become dangerous when employees fail to inspect, clean, or warn customers in a timely manner.
