However, as you are touring all the tiny spaces set up to mimic the rooms in a home, you must remain focused on your surroundings. These spaces are not as large as a typical room nor offer the space to walk or safely navigate around the large furniture and faux walls used for separation. In addition, many are haphazardly assembled and rearranged as store inventory fluctuates. So, the carpeted area or outlets used for lighting might not be ideally located or properly secured, meaning it is very easy to suffer an Ashley Furniture Store slip and fall or trip and fall injury incident. There are also hazards posed by items displayed on the walls or overhead racks that could fall and cause an injury.

The Hazards You Might Encounter At Ashley Furniture Store
When you enter a furniture store, it is easy to have tunnel vision as you search for the ideal piece for your home. You are trying to envision how the piece will fit in your house, its function, how well the style and color will match the décor, and if it will be functional and comfortable in some cases. This is a lot to evaluate in a small space where furniture is crammed in set after set. As you walk around and sit on couches or chairs, it is easy to miss the hazards that could be nearly concealed due to the minimal floor space, such as:
- Damaged or uneven flooring surfaces
- Unmarked transitions from one flooring surface to another
- Unmarked steps or ramps
- Loose or damaged carpeting
- Electrical cords running across the floor
- Floor mounted outlets
- litter or debris that was dropped on the floor but not picked up
- Wet floors from recently spilled drinks, leaking water lines, or malfunctioning plumbing fixtures
- Damp floors due to clogged drains
- Saturated floor mats at the store entrance or exit
Unfortunately, any of these simple issues could be eliminated in just minutes. However, when ignored, the result is often a severe injury to a customer after they suffer a slip and fall. Even more upsetting is that the amount of furniture in these spaces means that most victims suffer multiple injuries as they hit tables, couches, or chairs as they are falling to the floor.
When Can I Sue Ashley Furniture Store For A Slip And Fall Injury?
Just because you fell while at an Ashley Furniture Store does not give you the right to sue the store. Instead, your Kenmore Law Group legal team must demonstrate that the store staff failed to meet their obligation under duty of care to ensure the safety of guests. Duty of care is part of premises liability and applies to all public and private properties to ensure the safety of anyone legally on the premises. It clearly defines what is expected of property owners and their staff with regard to maintaining a safe and hazard-free property.
The care required is explained as being equal to what the average prudent person would provide in a similar situation. For example, you would remove an electrical cord that was running across a walkway to eliminate the possibility of someone getting hurt. Likewise, if a rug were damaged and a guest could get their foot caught and suffer a fall, you would either repair the rug or replace it to prevent an injury incident. These are the same actions that are required from the staff at Ashley Furniture Store to comply with their duty of care.
If the staff fails to meet its duty of care requirements, they are deemed negligent in their duty of care. In addition, if that negligence is later found to have caused or contributed to someone suffering an injury, Ashley Furniture Store could be held financially responsible for the victim’s losses and expenses caused by the injury incident. Please make the time to reach out to Kenmore Law Group at your earliest convenience to discuss the facts of your injury incident and determine if you have reason to pursue an Ashley Furniture Store slip and fall injury lawsuit.
How Much Will My Ashley Furniture Store Slip And Fall Injury Lawsuit Be Worth?
Most people who have never been involved in a personal injury accident have no idea how the process of filing a lawsuit and seeking compensation works. They assume there are standard compensation amounts for injuries, so they contact Kenmore Law Group to ask how much their case is worth, thinking it is a simple and predetermined answer. However, it is critical to know that all lawsuit compensation amounts are determined independently and are calculated based on the losses and expenses incurred by the victim due to their injuries.
When working with the Ashley Furniture Store slip and fall injury Attorneys at Kenmore Law Group, you will compile all the allowable expenses you have faced due to your injuries suffered at the store. These items typically include but are not strictly limited to:
- All your current medical bills related to your slip and fall injuries and any projected cost you could incur for future medical treatment, ongoing therapy or rehabilitation, and mental healthcare required
- The replacement cost of any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the incident at Ashley Furniture Store
- Your lost income if the injuries you suffered prevented you from working at your regular job until you are fully recovered and any income lost because you were attending essential medical appointments or treatment for the slip and fall injuries
- All legal costs associated with preparing, filing, and completing your Ashley Furniture Store slip and fall injury lawsuit
These are the typical verifiable and documented expenses and losses that will be used to calculate your lawsuit compensation value. However, if you suffer significant injuries or face an extensive recovery time, it is possible to receive additional compensation for your pain and suffering. As this amount is not documented, your Kenmore Law Group legal team will assist you in determining a reasonable amount. They will research cases similar to yours that recently settled to use as a reference for the appropriate amount to seek.
How Long Do I Have To File My Ashley Furniture Store Lawsuit?
As the victim of a personal injury, you have two years from the date of the injury incident to file your claim with the court. If the case is not filed in that time, you will likely lose the right to sue Ashley Furniture Store for any harm or costs incurred due to that specific incident. In most instances, there are no exceptions made to allot more time once this deadline has passed.
