Ikea Slip And Fall Injury Attorney

Ikea is a popular store where you can find nearly any piece of furniture, décor, or household item you need in one location. The massive stores offer more than the average big box or home furnishing store. The Scandinavian chain is famous for ready-to-assemble furniture and in-store restaurants in each location. There are 51 locations in the United States located across 27 states. The California locations include these cities:

• Emeryville
• Burbank
• Costa Mesa
• Carson
• East Palo Alto
• Covina
• West Sacramento
• San Diego
• San Francisco
• Long Beach
• Arcadia
• Lebec

Many shoppers appreciate the one-stop shopping at Ikea and the ability to walk from one room set up to another and see the assembled items and how they can be used and combined within a space. But along with this added convenience comes increased potential for slip and fall and trip and fall incidents as well as injuries from falling objects. The small spaces and countless items on display can make it difficult and hazardous to navigate the store.

If you or a loved one have suffered an injury at a California Ikea, please reach out to the dedicated staff at Kenmore Law Group. Our team can be reached 24/7 to help you understand the rights of a personal injury victim and how to hold Ikea responsible if you suffered an Ikea slip and fall or other injury incident due to staff negligence.

Once they have all the facts, they will provide you with a comprehensive evaluation of the legal merit of the claim and explain how to proceed with legal action. But rest assured, you are never obligated to hire Kenmore Law Group to represent you or to file an Ikea slip and fall injury lawsuit. But we ask that you reach out to our staff as quickly as possible, as there is a time limit for you to file your claim with the court.

Common Safety Concerns Found In Ikea Stores
As you browse the thousands of items on display, as well as the furnace used to construct the staged spaces, it is easy to become distracted by all the choices. However, patrons are urged to be vigilant in observing the space around them and all the items that could result in an injury accident. Some of the most common issues include:

• Wet floors from spilled food or drinks
• Ice that was dropped and melted on the floor
• Damaged or uneven flooring surfaces
• Folded or damaged rugs or carpet
• Electrical cords running along the floor
• Hoses left in walkways
• Merchandise that fell from a display area but was not picked up from the floor
• Litter or trash dropped on the floor or that fell from  an overfilled trash can but was not picked up
• Narrow aisles or walkways

It is also critical that shoppers be aware of the items stacked on overhead shelving or displayed on the walls that could fall and result in an injury. While these issues all appear to be easily corrected, they still have the potential to cause severe injuries to shoppers. And it is vital to contact Kenmore Law Group to discuss the details of your injury incident to determine if staff negligence could have been the reason for the harm you sustained.

Possible Severe Slip And Fall Injuries
When someone mentions they suffered a slip and fall accident, we often think of a less severe incident that would often be called a minor mishap. However, there are many slip and fall incidents each year that result in significant and even life-altering injuries that can include:

• Broken or fractured bones
• Dislocated joints or damage to the connective tissue of the joint
• Damage to internal organs and internal bleeding
• Back, neck, and spinal cord damage
• Puncture wounds or severe lacerations
• Head injuries from a concussion to a traumatic brain injury

Unfortunately, not all of these injuries are due to impact with only the floor. In the cramped spaces of the staged rooms, victims often suffer multiple injuries and harm because of the solid or sharp items they fall against or on as they fall to the floor. Sadly, not all victims are able to make a full recovery from their injuries. Some live with a lifetime of pain and physical limitations because of someone else’s negligence.

Understanding Duty Of Care
Many consumers believe that if they suffer an injury at a store like Ikea, they automatically have grounds for a lawsuit. But that is not true. Your Ikea slip and fall injury attorney will need to demonstrate that the staff at the store failed to meet their obligation under duty of care and that failure resulted in your accident.

Duty of care is part of premises liability that defines the level of care a property owner or business and its staff must take to ensure the safety of patrons and guests. Duty of care explicitly states that the care provided must be equal to or greater than what the average prudent person would provide in the same situation. For example, if there is litter on the floor, the typical response is to pick it up to eliminate the chance of someone slipping and falling. Likewise, if water is spilled on the floor, the average person would mop it up to eliminate the slip and fall hazard. These are the same actions expected from the Ikea store staff and that are required under duty of care obligation.

If the staff fails to provide the minimum level of care required, they are said to be negligent in their duty of care. Furthermore, if that negligence is later determined to have caused or contributed to a personal injury accident, Ikea can be held financially responsible for the losses and expenses of the victim. To learn more about duty of care and explore the possible cause of your Ikea slip and fall injury accident, don’t hesitate to get in touch with Kenmore Law Group today to speak with a skilled and successful personal injury lawyer.

How Much Is The Average Ikea Slip And Fall Injury Lawsuit Worth?
When you discuss the details of your Ikea injuries with the legal team at Kenmore Law Group, they will explain that there are no predetermined amounts awarded for personal injury cases. The compensation amount for each case is determined by evaluating the losses and expenses incurred by the victim. While we can offer an average of the cases recently resolved related to an Ikea slip and fall injury lawsuit, it does not mean that your case value will be near that amount.

You will work closely with your Kenmore Law Group legal team to compile all the allowable expenses you have incurred to ensure you are fully and fairly compensated for the costs created by your accident. The common items included in a slip and fall injury lawsuit are:

• All current and projected future medical expenses related to the treatment or rehabilitation of your slip and fall injuries suffered at Ikea
• The replacement cost of any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the slip and fall incident
• Your lost income if you were unable to work at your regular job until making a complete recovery and any income lost due to the time spent at medical appointments or treatment for your Ikea slip and fall injuries
• The legal expenses to prepare, file, and litigate your Ikea slip and fall injury lawsuit

In cases with severe injuries, it is possible to include compensation for the victim’s pain and suffering. Because this is not a documented or verifiable amount, your Kenmore Law Group legal team will assist you in selecting a reasonable amount of compensation based on similar cases that have recently been resolved and the pain and suffering each were awarded.
