However, if you happen to slip and fall at target, it doesn’t mean you have no chance of winning. With a skilled Target slip and fall lawyer on your side, your chances of filing a successful claim increase significantly. If you’ve been injured while shopping at Target, contact our slip and fall attorney, Brian Boyer, for a free and confidential case review at (702) 800-0988.

How to file a slip and fall claim at Target

If you have had the displeasure of slipping and falling while shopping at Target, the best way to initiate your claim is by 1). taking photos of the area that you slipped and fell, and 2). notifying security of the accident and filing an incident report. This should all be done while you are still on premises.

The quicker you do this, the better chance you have at attaining a full financial recovery. Big retailers will likely work quickly to remedy any hazards to avoid future incidents from occurring. In some cases, if you slipped on a puddle of liquid, the mess could be cleaned up by the time you go to notify someone! That is why it is imperative that you document the scene.

Once you’ve notified security or a manager of the fall, you should request an incident report be completed in your presence. This report will hold a lot of weight in the event you decide to file a personal injury claim. Be sure to retain a copy for your records.

Other steps to take after a slip and fall

If your injury does not warrant immediate medical attention, you should do the following after you’ve filed an incident report:

• Do not admit fault: Saying things like, “I wasn’t paying attention to where I was going,” or “I should have seen it” can actually come back to haunt you later. Do not let your ego get in the way. Do not apologize. As a guest of a store that is required to maintain a safe premise at all times, you did nothing wrong.
• Get witness information: Did anyone see you fall? Or, if you point out the hazard you slipped on, do they think it’s a hazard too? Ask them for a way to contact them in case you need proof of what happened later.
• Contact a lawyer: If you wish to pursue damages for your injury, it is in your best interest to contact an experienced attorney right away. In most cases, Target will work tirelessly to deny your claim, or to offer as little as possible in compensation. Do not let this retail giant intimidate you into believing you do not have a claim. Instead, contact a law firm who knows how to fight against the big guys.

How long do I have to file a slip and fall claim?

The State of Nevada maintains a Statute of Limitations rule for personal injury claims of two-years from the date of the accident or injury. However, as mentioned above, if you wish to file a successful personal injury claim, it is in your best interest to contact our law firm as soon as the accident happens in order to begin building a successful claim for your injuries. The longer you wait, the more likely the insurance companies will fight to deny your claim. They can also use your delay in filing against you in the event your claim escalates to a trial.
