Someone Broke Into My Car at the Grocery Store

Can I Sue the Store?

You park your car, grab your bags, hit the lock button on the key fob, and dash into the store for just a few items, but when you run back out again – hands full – you discover your car has been broken into! What do you do? Who do you call? There aren’t any witnesses around… is it the store’s fault?

Sadly, the answer is more than likely no. Unless the store had prior notice of an unusual number of break-ins in their lot for the time period immediately prior to your car’s damage and they did not take reasonable action in response to them, it is very difficult to hold them responsible. If, however, your vehicle was harmed as a result of the facility’s neglect or misconduct and/or they did not act with the care necessary under these circumstances, you may have a legitimate negligence claim.

Immediately following the discovery of damage or theft from your car in a grocery store parking lot, call 911 and notify store management. Ask to see if they have any security cameras of the area where your car was parked, and scan for witnesses who may have seen something and can provide an eyewitness account of the incident. Take photos of the area and the damage as you discovered it. Ask the store to fill out an incident report and request a copy to provide to the police and to your automobile insurance company. You’ll want to contact them to inquire how they recommend handling the damages, and you’ll want to call the legal professionals at Daniella Levi & Associates, P.C.
