HIT BY SHOPPING CART AT STORE – MN INJURY LAWYERS
Our personal injury attorneys represent clients injured by a shopping cart at a store. It is surprising how serious the injury can be from being hit by a shopping cart in a store.
The most frequent shopping cart injury occurs when a store employee is rounding up carts. They often get the carts in a long line and push them into the store. Sometimes the store employee may get distracted or not look where they are going, so they push the line of carts into someone. We have had clients hit from behind or in the back by a shopping cart. We have also had a client whose foot was run over by a shopping cart.
Of course, most cases where someone is hit by a shopping cart don’t result in a significant injury. The carts are usually not pushed fast and the impact may be minimal. If you are just bruised, it will probably not be worth getting a lawyer. However, some of our cases have resulted in permanent injuries and even surgery for people hit by a shopping cart. One reason for this is that some stores use the biggest possible shopping cart so the customer can put more in it. Also, is really depends on how you are hit and what you are doing at the time.
MEDICAL BILL AND OTHER COMPENSATION HIT BY SHOPPING CART MN
Many stores have “medical payment coverage” that will automatically pay a limited amount of medical bills. As long as you report the incident while you were there, you should not have a problem getting that insurance coverage. However, that coverage is limited to a few thousand dollars. Beyond that, you need to be able to prove it was the store’s fault that you were injured.
