Who is Liable For Black Friday Injuries?
The answer to this is variable and all depends on the precautions taken by the stores. The most obvious case of liability is if the store is poorly prepared to handle an increase in clientele. If their organization is sloppy and the store is actually ransacked to the point of danger, the store can be held liable. Slip and falls are common due to the increase of thrown items or poorly stacked items on special for the event. A less clear-cut case is if other shoppers are the one’s causing the injury. It then becomes a case of personal liability vs liability of the store. Either way, it is possible to seek compensation for gross negligence or assault/battery.

Kinds of Injuries on Black Friday
The kinds of injuries that happen on Black Friday are rather diverse. Most common is slip-and-fall followed by trampling. It’s very easy to get jostled in a crowd and it has been proven time and again that when in a group setting humans have a greatly reduced sense of responsibility to help individuals in need. As such, they are just as likely to ignore or step on a downed person as help them. Other injuries include back/arm strains from attempting to carry items or having to fight other folks for items on the rack. In addition, downright assaults can occur if two or more people are reaching for rare or limited items.
