With almost 9 million injuries reported in 2023 alone, falls account for 35% of all nonfatal injuries in the United States each year.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one out of five slips and falls result in serious injury. These can include a broken bone or a head injury. The data is even scarier for older adults, age 65 or older. This population sees 3 million emergency room visits per year due to such falls. And to make matters worse, once a person suffers a fall they are more likely to fall a second time.
The cost of falls in 2025 is estimated to be around $80 billion.
Be aware of your surroundings. If you can identify potential slip and fall hazards such as:
Costco Wholesale Warehouses usually have hard concrete floors, sharp metal shelving, and solid objects, such as furniture or electronics, in or near walking paths. These items can cause injuries to be more severe if struck during a slip and fall.
If you see a hazard, avoid it and find an alternative route to where you need to go. Immediately make the store aware of the hazard and insist that they fix it before leaving.
Injuries typically associated with such falls at Costco can include:
First and foremost, you must seek the appropriate medical attention for any injuries that you may have suffered. Getting well is priority number one and that starts with prompt medical care.
Secondly, It’s important to detail the circumstances of your slip and fall. What object caused you to fall? What was the condition of the walking surface on which you fell? While taking a survey of the scene may not be your top priority after your fall, these are important factors that speak to negligence.
If you are physically unable, have a trusted family member or friend document the conditions. This should include photographs of the area and names of witnesses or managers present.
This information can make all the difference in holding Costco accountable for your fall.

Yes, Costco’s responsibility often extends beyond the interior of the store to parking lots, sidewalks, and loading zones. If unsafe conditions such as ice, potholes, oil spills, or poor lighting contributed to your fall, you may still have a valid claim.
No, being a Costco member does not limit your right to seek compensation after an injury. Membership agreements do not waive your legal rights when you are harmed by unsafe conditions on store property.
Large displays, stacked products, and stocking equipment can create tripping hazards in busy warehouse aisles. If these items were placed unsafely or left unattended, they may support a claim that Costco failed to maintain reasonably safe walkways.
Spills near the food court are common and can create serious slipping hazards if they are not cleaned promptly. If employees knew about the spill or should have discovered it through reasonable inspections, Costco may be held responsible for your injuries.
