Walmart is one of the busiest retail chains in California, drawing thousands of shoppers every day. With such high foot traffic, slip-and-fall accidents are unfortunately common in Walmart stores and parking lots. These accidents can leave victims with severe injuries, expensive medical bills, and lost wages. At Hillstone Law, our attorneys represent victims of Walmart slip-and-fall accidents and fight for maximum compensation.

Common Causes of Slip-and-Fall Accidents at Walmart

Slip-and-fall accidents at Walmart often happen due to unsafe conditions, including:

• Spilled liquids, food, or leaking products left uncleaned
• Wet or freshly mopped floors without warning signs
• Aisles blocked with merchandise, boxes, or shopping carts
• Slippery entrances from rain or snow without mats
• Broken tiles, uneven flooring, or loose carpeting
• Poorly lit aisles, restrooms, and parking areas
• Potholes and cracked pavement in Walmart parking lots

The National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI) reports that falls account for more than 8 million hospital visits every year in the U.S.

Who is Liable for Walmart Slip-and-Fall Accidents?

Under California premises liability law, Walmart has a duty to keep its stores reasonably safe for customers. Walmart may be held responsible if:

• Employees failed to clean up spills or hazards in a timely manner
• No warning signs were placed where dangers existed
• Management ignored unsafe conditions or failed to repair hazards
• Store inspection and maintenance logs show negligence

If Walmart’s negligence led to your injuries, you may have the right to pursue financial compensation.

Steps to Take After a Slip-and-Fall at Walmart

If you are injured in a Walmart slip-and-fall accident, take these steps:

1. Report the accident immediately to store management.
2. Request an incident report and keep a copy for your records.
3. Take photos of the hazard, accident scene, and your injuries.
4. Collect witness contact information.
5. Seek medical care immediately—even if injuries seem minor.
6. Speak with an experienced attorney before talking to Walmart’s insurance representatives.
