Slip and Fall at ACME? Our Lawyers Can Help

ACME is a supermarket chain that is located in the Delaware Valley and New York City metropolitan areas. It is based in East Whiteland Township, Pennsylvania, close to Malvern, a suburb of Philadelphia. Currently, there are 177 supermarkets that fall under the ACME name in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland.

Because ACME supermarkets have many locations throughout New Jersey, including Morris County and Essex County, where thousands of customers shop each day, its employees may frequently neglect to notice spills made by other employees or customers. Or they may be negligent in warning customers of hazardous conditions that could cause shoppers to slip, trip and fall. ACME employees have a duty to provide a safe environment for customers while they are shopping in the supermarket. If you were injured at ACME, call the experienced New Jersey Slip and Fall personal injury attorneys at the Todd J. Leonard Law Firm at (973) 920-7900.

What Kind of Injuries Have ACME Customers Suffered?
Most slip and fall accidents at ACME have not resulted in life-threatening injuries. However, there are times when customers fall and, as a result, become severely injured. For instance, customers may slip, trip and fall due to a failure to warn of a dangerous condition, such as a wet or slippery floor that was recently cleaned. Or customers may fall due to the failure of supermarket employees to clean the floors in the aisles, where cooking oil and/or other liquids may have spilled. As a result of such falls, customers may suffer severe injuries.

If you suffered a serious injury while shopping at a New Jersey ACME supermarket due to the negligence of its employees, you may have a valid case of negligence against the supermarket. You may be able to obtain damages for your injury.
