Bed Bath & Beyond Slip And Fall Lawyer

The Bed Bath & Beyond retail chain includes nearly 1000 stores across the country and over 40 located in California. The store is focused on household needs, including décor items, small appliances, cookware, linens, and all the gadgets you might want for your house or stylish outdoor living space. Ever popular with newlyweds, the store’s wedding registry is a go-to for many family members and wedding guests who want to find that perfect gift.

While part of the convenience of Bed Bath & Beyond is that it has everything for your home in one store, and a vast selection of items, it can be a little overwhelming and even hazardous. The stores are typically average in size but offer little aisle space, with freestanding displays consuming the majority of the walkways. Both displays and shelves are stacked to the point of being overloaded with merchandise that is not always well-secured to stable. So trip and fall and slip and fall hazards are as commonplace as the sale signs, which can also be found littering the floors.

The Safety Hazards That Could Be Lurking In Bed Bath & Beyond

Shoppers need to know that they could encounter slip and fall hazards the moment they enter a Bed Bath & Beyond location. When the weather is wet, it is very common for the floor mats at the entrance of Bed Bath & Beyond to become saturated with water. So expect the floors also to be covered with water and very slick. Occasionally, the floor has a warning sign to alert customers to use added care, but not always.

Another common hazard involves merchandise falling from an overloaded display or shelf. These items can range from slippery linen napkins to silverware or knick-knacks that increase the potential of a slip and fall incident. Finally, paper from display signs, receipts, and other debris are easy to miss as you scan the floor for hazards. But when you step on one, you are likely to end up on the floor.

Common Slip And Fall Injuries

Sadly, many of the injuries sustained by Bed Bath & Beyond slip and fall victims are somewhat severe. The number of displays and shelves cluttering the aisles contribute to the injuries as victims typically hit multiple sharp, pointed, or hard items on their way to landing in a heap on the concrete floor. The resulting injuries include:

• Facial trauma to the eyes, nose, mouth, teeth, or skin
• Head injuries, including skull fractures, concussions, or traumatic brain injuries
• Broken or fractured bones
• Dislocated joints or damage to the soft connective tissue in the joints
• Severe lacerations or puncture wounds
• Damage to internal organs or internal bleeding
• Back, neck, or spinal cord injuries

All of these injuries could have a life-altering impact on the victim and their loved ones. In many cases, the result is a permanent impairment that requires a lifetime of medical care and even assisted living. This is heartbreaking for loved ones to witness and often results in significant financial hardships as care becomes very costly.

Understanding Duty Of Care

Duty of care is a legal phrase that explains a person’s responsibility to others’ safety and well-being. The term is applied when discussing the level of care or maintenance that should be provided to a place, such as a home, restaurant, or store, to ensure the safety of guests or patrons. The guideline is that the level of care should meet that which the average prudent person provides.

So you can imagine that the level of care provided in a person’s home is how a shop or store should be maintained. That level includes cleaning up spilled water from the floor and picking up items that fall to the floor, creating a slip and fall hazard. And when that duty of care is not met, the person can be found to be negligent in their duty of care and possibly even liable for any injuries their negligence caused.

When you meet with a Bed Bath & Beyond slip and fall lawyer from Kenmore Law Group, the details of your slip and fall incident will help to determine if negligence played a role in the injuries you sustained. If that is the case, you could consider pursuing a slip and fall lawsuit against Bed Bath & Beyond to seek compensation for your losses and injuries.

The Potential Value Of A Bed Bath & Beyond Lawsuit

The value of your lawsuit will be based on the expenses you incurred due to the incident. Some of the major categories of those costs include:

• Your medical bills
• Your legal fees
• Any lost wages
• The value of any damaged personal property
• An amount to compensate for your pain and suffering

The Statute Of Limitations For A Slip And Fall Lawsuit

The time limit to file a claim with the court system for a California personal injury claim is two years from the date of the injury. If the case is not filed in that time, you will typically have forfeited your right to seek any compensation for that incident. The team at Kenmore Law Group will work tirelessly to ensure that your case is prepared and filed long before the two-year limit is reached. Filing rapidly is the best way to ensure you receive the settlement or verdict you need as quickly as possible.
