Types of Furniture Store Accidents
Without a doubt, personal injury accidents can happen anywhere – furniture stores are not the exception. Some common incidents that innocent customers could suffer on the premises of an Ashly Furniture store include slip and fall accidents, trip and fall accidents, and falling object accidents. Although these incidents can be easily avoided (if store employees, managers, and owners simply kept the premises free of hazards), customers are needlessly put at risk of harm.

By far, slip and fall accidents are the most common type of personal injury accidents (as well as premise liability accidents). Slip and fall accidents happen due to hazards or dangerous conditions on the floor on a premise. If property owners do not warn of the presence of the hazard or address the hazard quickly, unsuspecting customers can slip and fall. Since slip and fall hazards are on the floor, they are often difficult for customers to see and avoid. Some of the hazards that can contribute to slip and fall accidents include the following: leaks, spills, wet floors, waxed floors, missing warning signs, misplaced warning signs, and trash littering the floor, for instance.

Trip and fall accidents are also among the more common premise liability accidents. Trip and fall accidents, similar to slip and fall accidents, happen due to hazardous conditions on the floor; however, the specific type of hazards are different. Some of the hazards associated with trip and fall accidents include the following: potholes (in parking lots, for instance), uneven concrete, broken concrete, uneven floors, steep stairs, sudden changes in flooring, exposed wires (which can result in getting your foot caught on wires), misplaced mats, torn carpeting, cramped spaces, and objects (usually boxes) blocking walkways, for instance. These hazards can easily cause customers to trip and fall. Some hazards, such as rugs that are improperly placed on the floor, are very simple to address; however, negligent property owners fail to do anything to address them.

Falling object incidents are also common, and they are typically associated with falling signs. Signs can fall if they are installed incorrectly or not maintained as necessary (they can loosen with time and fall). However, signs are not the only thing that could fall. Product displays (which are purposefully put in elevated areas to ensure visibility), shelving, posters, light fixtures, and even decoration can fall and strike unsuspecting customers who are walking by, standing, or sitting in the area where the object falls.

Did you or a member of your family experience a slip and fall accident, trip and fall accident, or falling object incident on the premises of an Ashley Furniture store or any other of the previously mentioned furniture stores? If so, you might have suffered injuries.

About Premise Liability and Your Right to Sue
Based on the concept of premise liability, you might have grounds to sue for the injuries that you or a member of your family suffered due to a premise liability accident. To be able to sue, you must prove that you were owed a duty of care that was breached, resulting in the incident and the harm suffered. Consider the following points:

• Duty of care – the property owners has a duty of care towards all guests (customers) that enter the premises. They have the duty to ensure that their premises are safe for guests. They must routinely inspect their premises to be able to identify and address any existing hazards.
• Breach of duty – property owners breach their duty of care and fail to ensure that their entire premises are free of hazards. They fail to identify and address dangerous conditions on their premises, putting guests at risk.
• Cause – the breach of duty directly causes an incident. The hazardous condition causes an innocent guest to experience an accident.
• Harm – the incident results in harm.

Based on premise liability, property owners owe their guests a duty of care. If they breach their duty of care and contribute to an incident which results in harm, the property owner could be liable for all the harm suffered. This means that any affected customers could sue the store owners. If you suffered a premise liability accident at Ashley Furniture, you could potentially file a claim.

What Should Affected Victims Do?
If you suffered a premise liability accident, such as a slip and fall accident, a trip and fall accident, or a falling object accident, for example, you might have grounds to sue and receive compensation. However, there are a number of things that you should do to ensure that you can pursue a claim.

What should you do? Consider the points listed below:

• Seek medical care immediately
• Photograph any visible injuries caused by the incident
• Photograph the hazard or dangerous condition that caused the incident
• Photograph the entire scene of the accident
• File a written report of the accident to the property owner (you will likely need to speak with employees and managers before being able to speak with the property owner)
• Request a copy of the accident report
• Speak to witnesses and collect their contact information
• Gather any video footage (such as surveillance footage) that captured your accident
• Collect all relevant records, including:
  • Medical records
  • Property damage records
  • Lost income records
• Seek the expertise of an Ashley Furniture store injury attorney as soon as possible

The Statute of Limitations
All claims are subject to a statute of limitations. A statute of limitations determines the specific length of time that claimants have to pursue their claims; if claimants do not file within the time allowed, they could lose their right to sue entirely. How long do you have to pursue your claim? In California, premise liability claims are subject to a two-year statute of limitations; therefore, claimants will only have two years to pursue their claims. Without a doubt, this is a strict deadline; however, it is possible for exceptions to the statute of limitations to apply. Specifically, based on the details surrounding the case (such as the age of the victim, for instance), the statute of limitations could be tolled or paused for some time. To ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the total length of time that you have to sue, contact the experts at our firm today.
