Petco is a loved American staple for individuals with pets such as dogs, cats, hamsters, reptiles and so on due to its wide variety of food, health aids as well as pet care services available throughout its over 1500 stores countrywide. Just about every other American family has a family pet that is well-loved and cared for, and companies such as Petco provide a much-needed service, keeping pets happy, healthy and well fed. Petco receives millions of customers or shoppers every month, and as such, is a hive of activity during any given day.

Customers often walk in with their rowdy and excitable pets, and shoppers sometimes have to jostle around in order to get to a certain product on the shelves. Due to the increase in foot traffic, accidents such as slip and fall are all too common at these pet service stores; that said, the law requires under premises liability law that all business owners provide their patrons with a level of duty of care meant to protect shoppers from any harm; this can be done in a number of ways such as clearly marking out any hazards such as wet floors and sudden flights of stairs, as well as making sure that aisles aren’t packed to the brim and teetering with products.

Should you suffer an injury at a Petco and it is determined that store management breached their duty of care towards you, it may be possible to file a legal claim in order to recover compensation. That said, these cases are nuanced due to the presence of a considerable number of moving parts as well as machinations by both upper management and the insurance company that it is imperative that you seek out the services of an experienced slip and fall injury law firm so your rights and ability to recover compensation are protected, something we would love to help you with.

Petco History and Success Secrets

Petco was first established in 1965 in San Diego, California as a veterinary supply company. However, due to demand, it changed to become a pet supply retailer, with the first retail store being opened in 1980.

Over the years, Petco popularity grew and it now has over 1500 stores countrywide. On top of pet supplies, it has expanded its offerings to include things like grooming services as well as dog and cat training as well as veterinary care. That said, despite the fact that Petco stores routinely train their staff on safety protocols in order to minimize shopper injury risks, these injuries still occur, underscoring the importance of adhering to OSHA regulations.

Why and How Injuries at Petco Stores Happen

Here are some of the most common causes of slip and fall incidents at Petco:

1. Unmopped liquid left on the floor for hours may not completely dry, making it likely for shoppers to unsuspectingly walk across the floor and slip and fall on said liquid
2. Cluttered aisles due to merchandize that hasn’t been properly put away, thereby obstructing walkways and making it likely for people to trip and fall
3. Poor lighting across the store may make it difficult for customers to avoid any hazards
4. The presence of uneven surfaces due to things such as cracked tiles and torn carpeting may present fall risks

Negligence at a Petco store may involve any of the following things:

1. Insufficient employee training on how to recognize and mitigate hazards in a timely manner
2. Failure to maintain safe conditions by timely resolution of any hazards
3. Ignoring complaints by customers on a regular basis leading to accidents and injuries
4. The lack of safety protocols means to help workers know exactly what to do in the event of a potentially injurious situation
