Ace Hardware Injury Accident Slip And Fall Lawyer

Ace Hardware stores are located up and down the coast of California from the Bay Area to San Diego. Around 370 of the nation’s over 4200 Ace Hardware locations are in California, and see countless residents supporting their business daily. These smaller hardware stores offer all the standard items you might expect, from plumbing and HVAC parts to larger and potentially more hazardous merchandise, including power tools, lawnmowers, grills, pool chemicals, saw blades, drill bits, garden items, and almost endless supply of cleaning solutions, paints, and other liquids.

As a shopper, you might appreciate all of these items in a store that is only a fraction the size of the nearest big box store. But you might not be considering the increased potential for suffering a slip and fall injury accident in your favorite Ace Hardware location. Sadly, the tighter size constraint, the number of potentially hazardous items, and the smaller number of employees present in the store can all contribute to the issues that cause slip and fall incidents in Ace Hardware stores.

Some Common Injuries Sustained In An Ace Hardware Slip And Fall Incident
Unfortunately, a slip and fall incident in Ace Hardware often results in relatively severe injuries due to the narrow aisles and abundance of sharp or hazardous items on the racks and shelves near the victim. Most injury victims report multiple impacts with merchandise or shelving before they land on the concrete floor. These incidents often result in the following:

• Broken bones or fractures
• Sprains, strains, and tears of soft tissue
• Lacerations or puncture wounds
• Injuries to the neck, back, or spinal cord
• Head injuries such as a concussion, skull fracture, or traumatic brain injury
• Facial injuries to the eyes, nose, mouth, teeth, or skin
• Joint dislocations or damage to the connective tissue of the joint
• Damage to internal organs or internal bleeding

All these injuries can be life-altering and many can be life-threatening without immediate medical treatment. Sadly, the victim is not the only one whose lie will be forever changed after an Ace Hardware slip and fall injury. Many times, loved ones and family members face financial hardships and struggle to provide the care and medical treatment these injury victims might require for the rest of their lives.
The Unexpected Hazards In An Ace Hardware Store
When shopping in any hardware store, you will be watching out for common hazards, like a large mower in a display area with sharp edges on the mower deck. But in many cases, the less obvious issues start a series of catastrophes, resulting in severe injuries. Some of the almost hidden hazards you might encounter in an Ace Hardware in California include:

• Water on the floor from a leaking cooler, water fountain, or damaged water line
• Wet areas at the store entrance if there is no floor mat or the floor mat is already saturated
• Small tools, fittings, or hardware items that have fallen to the floor
• Liquid merchandise that has leaked onto the floor, such as paint, bug spray, lubricants, solvents, or oil
• Paper or other debris that has fallen to the floor
• Merchandise that has fallen from a display or poorly stocked shelf

All of these items are commonplace in a hardware store and should not be hazardous to patrons. However, when the staff is not making regular inspections of the store, is lax in cleaning up spills, or is understaffed and cannot keep the floor surfaces clean, dry, and free of debris, the potential for a slip and fall injury accident increases significantly.
When Can You Sue Ace Hardware For Your Slip And Fall Injuries?
Most injury victims have no idea what is required to win a slip and fall injury lawsuit. They assume that it is enough to have simply fallen in the Ace Hardware store. However, that is not always the case. The challenge for your Kenmore Law Group Ace Hardware injury accident slip and fall lawyer is demonstrating that someone working at the store was negligent in their duty of care.

Duty of care is the expectation that a store will be kept in a safe and hazard-free condition when shoppers arrive to spend their hard-earned money. In general, the level of care required is what the average prudent person would exhibit. So if there is water on the floor, the average person would mop it up and place a sign to warn customers of the increased slip and fall hazard until the floor is dry.

Another example is an employee seeing a few tools that fell on the floor in an aisle. The prudent person would remove the tools from the floor. However, if they just walk past the tools and someone falls because of them, the person could be considered negligent. Once your lawyer establishes negligence, it is typical for that person or the establishment to be financially responsible for any injuries caused by the failure.
What Is An Ace Hardware Injury Accident Slip And Fall Lawsuit Worth?
The value of your slip and fall lawsuit against Ace Hardware is going to be based on the expenses and losses you suffer due to the injuries you sustained. In most cases, you will be able to seek compensation for the following items:

• The cost of all your medical care related to the injuries, including therapy and rehabilitation
• The value of any personal property damaged or destroyed in the incident
• The cost of your legal fees for the lawsuit
• Any lost wages if your injuries prevented you from working

All of these expenses are documented and supported with receipts and bills you receive for your care or a letter from your employer to define the amount of your lost wages. In addition, you can also request compensation based on the amount of pain and suffering you endured due to your injuries. The experts at Kenmore Law Group have a great deal of experience in establishing a fair dollar amount based on your injuries, the treatment required, and the time needed to recover fully. They will assist you in creating a compensation amount that fully represents what the Ace Hardware slip and fall incident cost you. Our goal is always to ensure that our clients move forward after their injuries with no added debt due to the injuries they sustained.

How Long Will My Slip And Fall Lawsuit Take To Complete?
Unfortunately, there is no accurate way to answer that question for any client. However, there are a few important dates you need to keep in mind. Personal injury victims in California have only two years from the date of the incident to file their claim with the court. If the claim is not filed in that time, you will lose your right to seek compensation from Ace Hardware for your injuries and losses.
