To win an award, premises liability law in Texas requires that the property owner or occupier committed a negligent act that led to your injuries. Negligence does not mean that the property owner purposefully created the dangerous situation that led to your injuries. Rather, it means that the injury was preventable.

When we represent you in a claim against a big business like TJ Maxx, we must investigate your case thoroughly to find evidence of the negligence of store employees. We know how to request surveillance video from the store and how to interview witnesses to try to obtain this evidence.

Creating an Unsafe Situation

TJ Maxx’s parent company, The TJX Companies, Inc., makes use of a Global Code of Conduct, in which the company emphasizes the importance of keeping stores and facilities safe for customers, all in an effort to prevent avoidable injuries.

When TJ Maxx employees do not follow this policy, it may create unsafe situations that could lead to injuries for you. 

Examples of Preventable Accidents in TJ Maxx Stores

If you are wondering whether you may have a case where you could win a personal injury judgment against your local TJ Maxx store in Allen, Texas, here are some of the most common situations that may involve negligence.

• Assault: If someone attacked and injured you while you were shopping or when you were taking your purchases to your car in the TJ Maxx parking lot, the store could be liable for your injuries by not providing adequate security.
• Struck by an object: If you were looking at items on a store shelf, and the shelf suddenly gives way because store employees overstuffed the shelf and exceeded its weight limit, items and boxes could strike you in the head, potentially leading to serious injuries.
• Trip and fall: If employees leave boxes and merchandise in the store’s common walkways, you could trip over these items and suffer injuries in a hard fall.
• Slip and fall: If employees at TJ Maxx fail to clean up a slippery liquid in an aisle, and you slip and fall after stepping on the liquid, this could be a case of negligence on the part of the employees.

Lacerations: Some merchandise at TJ Maxx consists of breakable glass. If employees fail to clean up broken glass on the floor or in a merchandise bin, you could suffer a severe laceration because you did not see the sharp glass.
