With their wide range of products and low prices, it is no wonder that Walmart Supercenters are a popular place to shop. When you visit these warehouse-style stores, you can knock out your grocery shopping, fill out a prescription, check your vision, and buy car supplies in one place.

However, these massive stores aren’t without their dangers. Shoppers can be seriously hurt by slips and falls, toppling displays, or parking lot accidents. Some accidents may cause minor injuries. But if you are severely injured, the damage can devastate you and your family and that is why you should consult with a Lehigh Acres Walmart accident attorney.

You should speak with a best Lehigh Acres personal injury lawyer if you are gravely injured while shopping at Walmart. When you are badly hurt, you may require extensive medical treatment. You might not be able to work until you have recovered. You are dealing with the pain from your injuries, and the damage could financially burden your family with costly medical bills.

Lehigh Acres spans 96 square miles and represents one of the largest residential communities in Florida. Lehigh Acres has a population of nearly 125,000 residents. The median household income is $49,937, and the median property value is $169,500.

Lehigh Acres has a Walmart Supercenter located at 2523 Lee Blvd. Shoppers can buy groceries and household items, fill gas tanks, and visit the pharmacy onsite. Walmart stores see approximately 230 million customers worldwide every week. With so much activity happening at Walmart, accidents can happen.

Slips and falls are frequent hazards customers face when shopping at a Lehigh Acres Walmart Supercenter. Malfunctioning refrigerators or freezers, spilled drinks, or broken bottles that leak liquid onto the floor can make the aisles slick and cause shoppers to slip and fall. Rainwater that splashes into the store's entrance or is tracked in on the shoes of other shoppers can make floors slippery.

Even if the floors aren’t wet, shoppers can still slip and fall if they step on loose floor mats or debris in the walkway. Customers can even slip when walking outside on sidewalks covered with wet leaves, papers, or other debris. And when it is raining or wet outside, the paint used to mark parking spaces and loading zones can become slippery.

Slip and fall accidents can cause extreme injuries. You could suffer from a traumatic brain injury if you hit your head on a hard surface, like a floor or shelf. Shoppers can break bones if they try to catch themselves from falling. A slip and fall can also cause severe damage to your back and neck.

When you have suffered severe injuries in a Walmart slip and fall accident, you may be entitled to recover compensation for:

• Medical care, such as emergency room treatment, hospitalization, physical therapy, physician visits, and medication.
• Continuing treatment and care if your injuries are life-altering
• Wages lost during your recovery time
• Loss of future income when your injuries are so extreme that they affect your ability to earn a living in the future.

Depending on the severity of your injuries, you could be compensated for mental anguish and pain and suffering.

Large retailers, like Walmart, often approach injured customers with a quick settlement offer. Usually, a fast settlement is nothing more than a way for the company to keep its loss as low as possible. But when you have been gravely injured, the damage could be far worse than what doctors expect. Your recovery time could take longer, or you may run into other medical complications. If you accept a settlement before knowing your rights, you may get far less than you are entitled to.
