You may well have a good case, depending on the cause of the items falling from the shelve - very important to immediately consult a local personal injury attorney to investigate the facts & preserve the evident (ie store security tapes; witnesses etc)

Ouch! Did you file an incident report with the store after the items fell on you? Do you know how often the store erases its security tapes? These are just a couple of the questions a personal injury attorney will address. He or she can take steps to secure any evidence of your injury, which will be important for your case. Hire an attorney. He or she can focus on your case while you focus on getting better. Good luck.
