Storefronts, whether retail shops, restaurants, or other commercial properties, are obligated to provide a safe environment for customers and visitors. When property owners or managers neglect basic safety measures, accidents can result in significant injuries. These incidents often stem from poor maintenance, hazardous conditions, or insufficient safety protocols.
