What Kind of Injuries Have Target Customers Suffered?
Most slip and fall accidents at Target 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 store employees to clean the floors in the aisles, where foods, liquids, or other items may have fallen, and caused customers to slip or trip on them. As a result of such falls, customers may suffer severe injuries.

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

Among the common kinds of injuries that people sustain in slip and fall accidents are:

• Upper arm fracture
• Tendon tear
• Wrist sprain
• Broken bones

If you have suffered these or other slip and fall injuries at a New Jersey Target store, you may be able to secure compensation. This compensation is comparable to that of other personal injury lawsuits, and could include:

• Medical expenses
• Lost wages
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Costs of rehabilitative care
