Proving Your Case
To win compensation for your injury, it is necessary to prove that Kroger did not take the reasonable precautions expected of a property owner to make their store safe.
You must prove Kroger’s negligence led to your accident, which caused your injury. When Kroger employees are negligent in cleaning spills or ensuring the floors are safe to walk on, you can hold them responsible for the injuries that result by seeking compensation for them.
Kroger Company and the Insurance Representative Are Not Your Friends
One of the most important things you must keep in mind after a slip and fall injury at Kroger is that the grocery store and its insurance company representatives are not looking out for your best interests.
The people who work for Kroger or handle its insurance claims are looking out for Kroger and trying to minimize the amount of money it must pay in compensation for its negligence. While these people may appear to be concerned about you and the injuries you have suffered, its main concern is in helping the company.
You Have a Right to Seek Compensation
You cannot be denied compensation solely because you were partly at fault in your slip and fall. Insurance companies may try to intimidate you into giving up your claim on the grounds your cell phone distracted your, that you were not watching where you were walking, you were not wearing non-slip shoes, or any other factor that pins some blame for the accident on you.
The law in Texas, however, allows you to receive compensation for injuries even when you are partly to blame. You may receive proportionally less compensation if you were somewhat responsible for your accident, but you cannot be denied compensation if Kroger’s negligence was the main cause of your injury.
Protect Your Rights
Immediately after your slip and fall, notify a Kroger employee of your accident, and ask them to call for medical help. Kroger employees can quickly clean up wet floors and trip hazards after your fall, so try to get photos of the problem that caused the accident as soon as possible. While waiting for medical help to arrive, try not to say much about your accident; simply assert that you are hurt and do not feel like talking at this time.
In the days after your accident, you may receive a phone call from Kroger’s insurance asking for a recorded statement. It is not legally necessary for you to give them a statement, even if the representative implies that it is necessary or will help speed up your claim. In fact, the company will likely try to use your statement to deny or reduce your claim. Reach out to one of the best slip and fall accident attorneys in Houston for a free consultation.
