Bonita Springs Winn-Dixie Injury Accident Lawyer

Winn-Dixie is a popular grocery store in Florida. With two stores in nearby Naples, shoppers can find aisles of fresh fruit and vegetables, packaged meals, and household goods. Both places have a deli, bakery, pharmacy, and floral shop.

Whether it is buying food for the week or running to pick up last-minute dinner items, no one expects to get hurt when they shop at Winn-Dixie. However, the constant activity inside the store may lead the dangerous conditions. Shoppers can be hurt in a Winn-Dixie accident, whether it’s a fall in the parking lot or slipping on a wet floor inside.

William Milton Davis and his sons founded Winn-Dixie. In 1914, William Davis got his start in the grocery business when he bought a general store in Idaho that he named Davis Mercantile. As was common at that time, the store primarily sold goods on credit. Yet as cash-only grocery stores began to open in the 1920s, Davis Mercantile found it challenging to compete. Eventually, Davis purchased Rockmoor Grocery in Miami, Florida in 1927.

Over time, the Davis family bought the Lively Store and Winn & Lovett grocery store chains. The company continued to purchase new store chains in the southeastern United States. In 1955, the Davis family acquired the 117-store Dixie Home chain and officially changed the company's name to Winn-Dixie.

Today, there are over 546 Winn-Dixie locations throughout Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. You can find two Winn-Dixie stores located near Bonita Springs:

• 7550 Mission Hills Drive, Naples, Florida
• 4849 Golden Gate Parkway, Naples, Florida

Just by their very nature, grocery stores are prime locations for slip-and-fall accidents. Some of the most common causes of Winn-Dixie slip and fall accidents include;

• Broken or leaking bottles of milk, juice, coffee, or other fluids
• Spilled drinks
• Stepped-on produce that leaves a clear, slippery file on the floor
• Loose floor mats
• Wet entryways
• Different or uneven walking surfaces
• Receipts, packing materials, and debris lying on the floor after shelves are stocked

Shoppers can also slip and fall when walking through the parking lot or up the store. When the wrong type of paint is used to show parking spots, crosswalks, or loading zones, shoppers can slip and fall if it is wet aside.

Slip and fall accidents at Winn-Dixie can cause serious injuries that require long-term medical care. Common injuries resulting from a grocery store slip and fall accident include:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord damage
• Neck, shoulder, and back injuries
• Broken pelvis, hip, or other bones
• Cuts and bruises
• Torn ligaments, muscles, and tendons

You should always seek medical help after a slip and fall accident. Even if you feel ok after a slip and fall, you may not feel the effects of the accident until hours or days later.

If you were severely hurt in an accident at Winn-Dixie or any other grocery store, you need to seek compensation to pay for the long-term costs of treating your injuries. Wolfson & Leon is ready to help you defend your rights when you have been seriously injured.
