Llámenos — (713) 885-9787Not every slip and fall case is the same — and Costco injury claims present unique challenges and opportunities that general premises liability attorneys often miss. Costco is the third-largest retailer in the world with over 875 warehouses worldwide and more than 60 locations in Texas. Their Dallas warehouses see tens of thousands of members daily, creating constant exposure to bulk product spills, forklift traffic zones, polished concrete floors, loading dock hazards, and free sample station spills.
Under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 75.002, Costco owes its members — legally classified as invitees — the highest duty of care. This means Costco must inspect for hazards, repair dangerous conditions within a reasonable time, and provide adequate warnings when hazards cannot be immediately fixed. When Costco fails in any of these duties and you slip and fall as a result, Costco can be held financially responsible for your injuries.
The critical difference between a standard slip and fall and a Costco claim is the warehouse environment. Costco warehouses have unique hazards that regular retail stores do not — forklifts operating in member areas, oversized pallets stacked at height, polished concrete floors that become extremely slippery when wet, and bulk product spills that create large-area hazards. You need an attorney who understands Costco's warehouse-specific premises liability.
Large-volume spills from bulk beverages, cleaning supplies, and food items that create extensive slick surfaces on polished concrete warehouse floors
Costco's active forklift operations in member-accessible aisles create trip and collision hazards — a warehouse-specific risk unique to Costco
Costco's signature polished concrete floors become extremely slippery when wet from spills, rain tracking, or cleaning operations
Food and beverage spills near Costco's popular sample stations create slip hazards in high-traffic areas where members gather and eat
Condensation and ice buildup near Costco's extensive freezer sections that melt onto floor surfaces creating hidden slip hazards
Costco's open loading dock areas near member shopping zones create trip hazards from uneven surfaces, pallet edges, and transition strips
Emergency room visits annually in the United States from slip, trip, and fall injuries — with warehouse stores consistently ranking among the top five locations for these incidents (National Safety Council)
Costco warehouse locations worldwide serving millions of members weekly — each location presenting unique slip and fall hazards from bulk products, forklifts, polished concrete, and free sample stations
Range of documented Costco slip and fall settlements across the United States — with hip fractures, spinal injuries, and shoulder surgeries commanding the highest compensation amounts
Every section of a Costco warehouse presents unique slip and fall risks. Understanding these hazards is critical to proving Costco's negligence and maximizing your compensation.
Large-volume spills from bulk beverages, cleaning supplies, and food items create extensive slick surfaces on polished concrete floors. Unlike regular retail, Costco spills cover larger areas and create more serious slip hazards.
Costco's popular free sample stations attract crowds and create food and beverage spills in high-traffic areas. Members gathering to sample products create congestion and increased slip risk around these stations.
Condensation and ice buildup near Costco's extensive freezer sections melt onto polished concrete floors creating extremely slippery surfaces. Temperature transitions cause condensation that creates hidden hazards.
Potholes, uneven concrete slabs, inadequate lighting, rain and oil slicks, and overloaded shopping carts in Costco parking lots cause serious trip-and-fall and slip-and-fall injuries — especially at night.
Costco's active forklift operations in member-accessible aisles create unique trip and collision hazards. Members may not hear or see forklifts approaching while focused on shopping, creating warehouse-specific dangers.
Oversized pallets stacked at height in Costco's warehouse-style shelving present falling merchandise hazards. Floor-level pallet edges and transition strips create trip hazards throughout the warehouse.
Costco is one of the largest retailers in the world with experienced defense attorneys and aggressive insurance adjusters. The attorney you choose determines whether you receive full compensation or a lowball offer. Here is what makes Attorney Karan Joshi genuinely different.
Call Now — Free ReviewFewer than 3% of Texas attorneys hold Board Certification in Personal Injury Trial Law. This credential — and the trial readiness it signals — is why Costco's insurance carriers take our demands seriously from the first letter.
We understand Costco's warehouse layouts, their forklift operations, their polished concrete floors, and their corporate investigation process. We know how Costco's loss prevention teams operate and how to counter their defense strategies.
Attorney Karan Joshi is bilingual in English and Spanish. The attorney handling your case communicates directly with you in the language you are most comfortable with — not a paralegal or intake coordinator.
Dallas's large immigrant community includes many warehouse store injury victims who fear pursuing claims. As both a personal injury and immigration attorney, Karan Joshi handles both simultaneously — something no other Dallas slip and fall firm offers.
Large firms process hundreds of cases through junior associates. At Orange Law, Attorney Joshi personally manages your case — accessible by direct contact throughout the entire process.
We advance all costs — investigation, expert witnesses, medical records, litigation expenses — and charge no attorney fee whatsoever unless we recover compensation for you.
Costco slip and fall cases require immediate action. Surveillance footage gets overwritten, witness memories fade, and Costco's corporate investigation team starts building their defense the moment you fall. Here is exactly how Attorney Joshi protects your claim from the first call.
We send a spoliation letter to Costco within hours of your call demanding preservation of all surveillance footage, maintenance logs, employee schedules, cleaning records, and incident reports before they are destroyed.
We investigate the specific Costco warehouse — documenting the hazard, photographing the scene, obtaining surveillance angles, and interviewing witnesses who saw the dangerous condition or your fall.
We ensure your injuries are properly documented from day one. We work with medical experts to establish the full extent of your injuries and their connection to the Costco slip and fall incident.
We analyze Costco's knowledge of the hazard, their inspection protocols, and whether their employees followed proper safety procedures. Texas requires proof that Costco knew or should have known about the dangerous condition.
Armed with comprehensive evidence, we submit a demand to Costco's insurance carrier. Our Board-Certified trial attorney status gives us real leverage — Costco's insurers know we are prepared to go to trial.
Most Costco slip and fall cases settle before trial. When they do not, Attorney Joshi is fully prepared for Dallas County courts. Your case is built for both outcomes from day one.
Dallas's environment, court system, and legal landscape create specific factors that affect Costco slip and fall cases — factors that an attorney experienced in Dallas County premises liability litigation understands and incorporates into your case strategy.
Dallas's extreme summer heat — regularly exceeding 100°F — creates unique hazards in Costco parking lots. Thermal expansion causes concrete to crack and heave, creating uneven surfaces. Heat also causes refrigeration condensation that drips onto entryway floors, creating hidden slip hazards at warehouse entrances.
Costco warehouses typically overwrite surveillance footage within 30 to 90 days. Without a spoliation letter demanding preservation, critical evidence of the hazard and your fall may be permanently destroyed. This is why contacting an attorney immediately after your Costco slip and fall is essential.
When Costco slip and fall cases do not settle — and Costco's insurer often resists fair settlements — Dallas County courts are the venue. Attorney Joshi's Board-Certified trial experience means your case is fully prepared for litigation from day one, not just settlement negotiation.
Costco's warehouse environment presents unique legal complexities — forklift operations, oversized pallet stacking, bulk product handling, and member access policies. An attorney who understands warehouse-specific premises liability can identify negligence patterns that general attorneys miss.
Establishes the duty of care property owners owe to invitees — the highest standard under Texas law. Costco must exercise reasonable care to keep its premises safe for members.
Sets the two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims. You must file your Costco slip and fall lawsuit within two years of the date of injury or lose your right to pursue compensation.
Costco does not need to have actual knowledge of a hazard. If the hazard existed long enough that Costco should have discovered it through reasonable inspection, they can be held liable for constructive knowledge of the condition.
Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are found 51% or more at fault, you recover nothing. This is why Costco's insurers work aggressively to shift blame to you.
Costco may argue the hazard was "open and obvious." Texas recognizes this defense but it does not automatically bar your claim. If you were distracted by shopping, carrying items, or navigating warehouse aisles, the hazard may not have been reasonably observable.
