When the Thanksgiving turkey and all the fixings are gone and the football game is over, for millions of Americans, it's time to hit the sales. Black Friday is the single biggest shopping day of the year and more and more retailers are swinging open the doors and offering once-a-year late night deals. But as with any big event, there inevitably are those who take things to the extreme, posing a safety risk to themselves and their fellow shoppers.
We've all seen the media headlines with photos or video of crowds violently crashing through doorways, yanking products out of one another's hands and fist-fighting in the aisles. If you plan to participate in Black Friday shopping, Todd E. Copeland offers these safety tips:
Of course, the safest way to take advantage of all the great deals is to shop online from the comfort of your home. But we understand the thrill of the Black Friday game, so to speak. Just know that premises liability law requires the stores where you shop to make the experience as safe as possible by arranging displays with plenty of room to walk without tripping and having adequate sales and security staff on hand. Also, understand that while stores may have all the right safety precautions in place, an overzealous fellow shopper can quickly prove a danger.
If you're injured in a Black Friday shopping incident caused by someone else's negligent or deliberate act, or a store's failure to provide a safe shopping experience, get medical attention immediately, even if your injury seems minor. Then, contact Orlando's Todd E. Copeland & Associates. One of our highly experienced and dedicated attorneys can help determine if you have a solid personal injury or premises liability legal case.
