It is the 2nd largest retailer in the world after Walmart and is the largest retailer when it comes to organic foods, prime beef, wine, and rotisserie chicken.<\/p>\n<p>In Canada, Costco has over 100 warehouses. Canada is also home to Costco\u2019s first Business Center outside the U.S. in Scarborough, Toronto which was opened in 2017. Costco offers great deals and savings to its members and is a very popular place to shop. However, as is the case with most major retail stores, accidents are commonplace. <strong>Common injuries in Costco warehouses<\/strong> include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>High traffic leads to slick conditions when the weather is wet outside as shoppers drag slush, snow, and rain across the floor<\/li>\n<li>Unpacked merchandise sitting on the floor waiting to be put on shelves<\/li>\n<li>The big space means spills in aisles can go unnoticed for long periods of time<\/li>\n<li>Washed floors could lead to slip and fall accidents, especially when \u201cWet Floor\u201d signs are not put in place when the floors are drying<\/li>\n<li>Snow and ice on the parking lots and on walkways could cause slips<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><a id=\"What_to_do_after_a_Slip_and_Fall_Accident_10\"><\/a>What to do after a Slip and Fall Accident<\/h2>\n<p>If you are injured at a store such as Costco following a <a title=\"Grillo Law - Slip and Fall Lawyers\" href=\"https:\/\/grillo.ca\/slip-and-fall-lawyers-toronto\/\">slip and fall accident<\/a>, <strong>Ontario Occupier\u2019s Liability Act sets out the path towards seeking compensation<\/strong>.

This includes pictures of the accident scene and your injuries and accident-related bills and medical records. You should also get contacts of anybody who may have witnessed the accident because eyewitness testimony is seen to be unbiased and goes a long way in determining fault.<\/p>\n<p>Hire a lawyer to represent you in the claim. <strong>A lawyer has the training and the experience necessary to win a claim<\/strong>. A lawyer will help conduct necessary investigations, gather relevant evidence and advocate on your behalf against large and resourceful insurers, to ensure that you receive the compensation that you deserve and that you do not sell yourself short.
