Legal Question in Personal Injury in North Carolina
Grocery Store Injury
I turned to pay the cashier at a grocery store and my four year old pulled on
the side of our cart causing it to fall over onto another shopper that was in
the line beside of us. The lady was bleeding from the ankle and the
ambulance was called. I gave my name and number to the store manager.
Will we be finically responsible for injuries of this obvious accident or will the
store's lliability insurance cover?

Re: Grocery Store Injury
Unless your child had a history of this behavior, you would not be liable. The store is not liable. This is basically an "accident" in which no one is at fault. (The minor is deemed incapable of negligence at that age.) The store may have a "med pay" insurance policy that would pay for her medical bills.
