The Potential Slip-and-Fall Hazards at Bed, Bath, and Beyond

This brand operates s 1,020 stores around the world. While the number of stores has steadily fallen over the past few years, the company plans to expand its operations with more investments and a push for more sales. One CNBC article reported a target investment of up to $1.5 billion.

Expansion is great news for any company and its customers. However, too strong a focus on sales and monetary performance can lead to lax practices that increase the risk of these and other hazards:

Spilled liquids or food on the floor
Exposed electrical components
Narrow and crowded aisles
Uneven surfaces
Poor lighting
Clutter or boxes in walkways

Possible Injuries You May Suffer After a Slip-and-Fall Accident

The type and severity of injuries related to slip-and-fall accidents can vary significantly. Some injuries might also take a long time to become evident. This is one of the many reasons you should seek medical care after an accident, even if you feel fine. Consider these common injuries:

Head and face injuries
Neck and back injuries
Broken bones
Internal injuries
Spinal cord injuries
Death

What You Can Get Compensation for After a Slip-and-Fall Accident

If you proceed with a slip-and-fall case against Bed, Bath, and Beyond, your lawyer will review the details of your case and determine how to move forward. In some cases, your lawyer might even decide to delay filing a complaint so that the doctor has more time to better estimate the extent of injuries and long-term effects. These are some of the things he or she might claim compensation for.

Medical Expenses

When you suffer serious injuries, medical bills can quickly start to pile up. If the injury costs you your job, then you also run the risk of losing the insurance you need to foot the bill. Your personal injury lawyer will review all your medical records and tally up an appropriate cost for the present and foreseeable future.

Pain and Suffering

Some slip-and-fall cases can cause serious mental anguish and cause devastating changes in a person’s life. For example, reactions to chemicals on a slippery floor could lead to serious illnesses or even disfiguration. Similarly, broken bones could cost blue-collar workers, dancers and athletes their careers.

Lost Wages

If you do lose your job, then the financial risks increase significantly. Your lawyer will review the full extent of your earning ability, including seasonal fluctuations. This puts you in a good position to get every penny the injury cost you, especially if you might never be able to return to work in the same capacity.

Disability

In some cases, the injury is so severe that it has a strong impact on your quality of life. Courts tend to provide higher compensation values when injuries result in long-term or permanent disabilities. Your attorney will also factor in the cost of continued therapy and changes at home to accommodate your disability.

Wrongful Death

Severe slip-and-fall accidents can sometimes lead to death. While this rarely occurs inside a Bed, Bath, and Beyond store, it is not impossible. In this case, only eligible persons can file a wrongful death suit. This usually included dependents, spouses and some closely related family members.

Why You Should Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer for Bed, Bath, and Beyond Accidents

Many people who suffer injuries choose not to hire an attorney or file a claim because they think they can’t afford it. However, most personal injury lawyers do not charge upfront fees. In fact, our lawyers at Gould Injury Law only get paid if or when you get paid. Consider these additional reasons for seeking professional legal help:

The store might try to blame you for the accident, but an experienced attorney knows how to fight this.
Injury cases can be complex and require advanced knowledge of the law and how court systems work.
Big corporations often try to take advantage of injured people who don’t have legal representation.
A personal injury lawyer will complete a thorough investigation and work hard to get you the maximum compensation possible.

What To Look for in a Good Personal Injury Lawyer

The last thing you want is to work with a law office that will hand your case off to a junior attorney or a paralegal. You need attorneys who are serious about getting you compensation as soon as possible. Consequently, look out for these factors.

Contingency

While it is standard for personal injury lawyers not to charge fees upfront, never assume all law offices do this. If the company does not explicitly state this on the website, ask. If you notice any asterisks or footnotes, read them thoroughly. We stand by our word not to charge clients anything until we win.

Availability

Good attorneys strike a balance between attracting clients and serving only as many as they reasonably can. After all, you want an attorney who is focused on your case. Ask for the specific person who will work on your case and try to get a feel for availability. If you struggle just to set up an initial consultation or get a response to emails and calls, this is already a bad sign.
