CVS Slip and Fall Lawyer
CVS Pharmacy locations see thousands of customers every day, and that high volume of foot traffic — combined with busy restocking schedules and narrow retail aisles — creates conditions where slip and fall accidents are more likely to occur. When a CVS store fails to maintain safe conditions throughout its premises and a customer is injured, that customer may have a legal claim for compensation.
At Setareh Law, we represent people throughout Beverly Hills and greater Los Angeles who have been injured in slip and fall accidents at retail establishments like CVS. We handle every case on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you. Our team brings over 60 years of combined experience and has recovered more than $250 million for injured clients across California.
What Causes Slip and Fall Accidents at CVS?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, millions of fall-related injuries result in emergency department visits each year. Common hazards in CVS locations include wet or mopped floors with inadequate warning signs, spilled products or liquids left unaddressed in aisles, refrigerator condensation dripping onto the floor near drink coolers, cluttered or improperly stocked aisles creating tripping hazards, and broken or uneven flooring near entrances.
How California Premises Liability Law Applies to Your Case
California law requires commercial property owners and operators, including large retail pharmacy chains like CVS, to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition. A CVS slip and fall claim falls under premises liability law, which holds business owners accountable for unsafe conditions that should have been discovered and corrected through reasonable inspections. To succeed in a claim, you must generally show that a hazardous condition existed, that CVS knew or should have known about it, that the store failed to fix it or provide adequate warning, and that this failure directly caused your injuries.

Why Documentation Makes a Difference
Evidence plays a critical role in slip and fall cases against large retailers. We strongly encourage you to report the incident to store management and request an incident report before leaving, photograph the hazard and surrounding area, and collect contact information from any witnesses. Injuries from these accidents can range from spinal cord injuries and brain injuries to broken bones and serious soft tissue damage. Many of these injuries require ongoing treatment, rehabilitation, and extended time away from work.
What Compensation Can You Recover After a CVS Fall?
The compensation available will depend on the specific facts of your case, but it commonly includes medical expenses, lost income, reduced earning capacity, and damages for physical pain and emotional distress. Our case results demonstrate the meaningful recoveries we have achieved for clients injured in premises liability incidents. California follows a comparative fault system, which means that even if you are found partially responsible for the accident, you may still be able to recover compensation.
