Miami Target Store Accident Attorney

Target takes fraud and shoplifting cases very seriously. It uses its sophisticated web of surveillance videos to prosecute shoplifters and employees who commit theft, as well as to defend itself against fraudulent slip and fall cases. In 2006, it was revealed that Target operates two of its own sophisticated criminal forensic laboratories, one at its headquarters and the other in Las Vegas. Those labs were created as part of its internal theft and fraud prevention division. However, the company now offers its lab’s services to local law enforcement agencies across the country, including federal agencies such as the Secret Service and FBI.

Nevertheless, we too use their labs to win cases. By obtaining the video before it is either “lost” or “destroyed” by Target, we can demonstrate how and what caused the fall. If, for example, the videotape reveals that the substance on the floor was the result of a spilled Frappuccino from the onsite Starbucks, we would have to find proof that the spill was left on the floor for a period of time that would have or should have put Target on notice that there was a dangerous condition, which they failed to address. If, on the other hand, the spill were to happen literally moments before the customer falls, it is most likely Target would not be responsible for the fall.
