Many individuals visit Victoria’s Secret stores in Florida to purchase intimate apparel. Visitors may be shopping for themselves or for someone special in their lives. Unfortunately, these peaceful trips could take a turn for the worse if you slip and fall while shopping.

Get the Facts About Victoria’s Secret Stores

Victoria’s Secret is a well-known lingerie and women’s wear store that began operations in 1977. The store has sold makeup, footwear, and swimwear off-and-on throughout its decades of operations. This variety of products can make Victoria’s Secret stores crowded, leading to increased chances of a slip and fall accident.

There are currently over 800 Victoria’s Secret stores in operation. These stores operate in many countries around the world. It can be difficult to secure compensation from a Victoria’s Secret store due to its legal status as a subsidiary of the L Brands company. Additionally, some stores are independently owned, which may make it difficult for you to get full damages without the help of our slip and fall lawyer.

Properly Report Your Victoria’s Secret Slip and Fall Accident

It is important that you properly report your slip and fall accident in Florida. You must tell a store employee – preferably the manager – that you slipped and fell before leaving the store. The employee should generate an incident report for your accident.

It can be very difficult to get the compensation you deserve after a slip and fall accident if you do not ensure proper documentation of the fall. You should also document the accident site yourself, if possible. Try to take pictures of:

• The area where you fell
• The hazard that caused you to fall
• Your injuries

This documentation can help your Florida Victoria’s Secret slip and fall accident and injury lawyer as they pursue the damages you need to move forward with your life.

Injuries Caused by a Slip and Fall in Victoria’s Secret

A slip and fall accident in a Victoria’s Secret can result in several serious injuries. These injuries may include:

• Broken bones and fractures
• Head and brain injuries
• Cuts, bruises, and other abrasions

You could be entitled to compensation for the medical treatment you need to recover from these injuries. Your lawyer might also be able to obtain damages to cover time off work during your recovery of period, as well as your pain and suffering and mental anguish.

Note that you should seek medical treatment quickly after a slip and fall accident at Victoria’s Secret. Getting medical care right away can help your lawyer demonstrate that the accident caused your injuries, which may make it easier to win full compensation for your losses.

Premises Liability Claims and Victoria’s Secret Stores

• There was a known hazard in a Victoria’s Secret store
• Property owners did nothing to remove this hazard
• Property owners did nothing to warn customers about this hazard
• This hazard caused you to slip and fall, resulting in injuries
• You now have damages because of your injuries
