What is a store owner's duty to prevent fall injuries of a child?

Children are tempted by climbing high areas and surfaces, which can cause serious injury or even death. When children enter a store or business they may be tempted to climb shelves or other high areas that can cause serious injury if they fall. Business owners have a duty to exercise reasonable care, in preventing a child from being injured by using reasonable safety precautions to prevent a foreseeable injury. For example, a store owner may be held liable for an injury to a child if that child is injured due to a fall from a shopping cart which is defective. A West Palm Beach Child Injury Lawyer will advise a plaintiff that such an injury may give rise to a cause of action for premises liability if the store owner failed to exercise reasonable care in repairing a defect in a shopping cart if he or she knew or should have known of the defect.

If your child is injured by falling from a high window or other high area, due to the negligence of another, you should consult with an experienced West Palm Beach child injury lawyer.
