Scott Callahan has successfully represented numerous
individuals, and their loved ones, in personal injury cases involving merchandise that has fallen on customers
while shopping at "super warehouse" stores. Super warehouse stores include retailers such as Home Depot,
Wal Mart, Toys R Us, K Mart, Lowe's, Sam's, and Builder's Square.
Retailers are required to follow certain safety standards
when they stack merchandise and operate machinery, such as forklifts, electric pallet jacks, reach trucks,
and order pickers. The stores must also train their employees to properly follow safety policies and procedures.
In many instances, however, these large retailers fail to comply with these requirements. As a result, customers
are being seriously injured or killed by falling merchandise. Specifically, this is due to improper stacking,
unsafe displays, negligent acts by forklift drivers, damaged or faulty racking, inadequate employee training,
insufficient shrink-wrapping, and defective pallets. Many products such as lumber, 5 gallon paint buckets,
heavy boxes, steel bathtubs, fireplace mantels, and other items are falling on customers, some from overhead
racking exceeding twenty feet.
In many instances, there is a blatant indifference
for customer safety. Unfortunately, these are not isolated occurrences. The shear number of nationwide claims
and lawsuits against retailers for falling merchandise is stunning. Media coverage by Good Morning America,
20/20, Inside Edition, and local affiliates nationwide highlights the common nature of the dangers that
exist in super warehouse stores.
