Uniqlo is a Japanese clothing brand currently owned by Fast Retailing Co., Ltd. The stores were originally called “Unique Clothing Warehouse” and was supposed to be registered as “Uniclo,” an abbreviated version of the original name. But there was an error that turned the C into a Q, and the head of the company decided that he liked the change. As a result, Uniqlo was born, and since the 1980s, the store has expanded into thousands of locations around the world.
Clearly, Uniqlo has had massive success in the past few decades, but having so many store locations increases the possibility of harm to others. With that in mind, the company has a duty to protect customers from an accident or criminal incident. Possible sources of injury at a Uniqlo store include, but are not limited to:
- Slip and fall / trip and fall accident
- Falling objects, like wall decorations, store displays, TV monitors, merchandise on shelves, etc.
- Assault and battery by store employee
- Lack of security resulting in physical and sexual assault
- Accidents in the parking lot
Were you or someone you know injured while shopping at a Uniqlo clothing store? Did you slip and fall down in the parking lot or another outdoor area of the stores? Were you attacked by someone on the premises because of security issues that the business owner or their employees should have taken care of? We understand the agony of being injured through no fault of your own and the injustice of being burdened with medical bills and other expenses. We can help you get justice by suing the company and fighting to bring you every penny you deserve. Contact a Uniqlo accident claims attorney at our office and learn how you can receive compensation as the victim of negligence or reckless conduct.

Can I Sue Uniqlo for an Accident at a Store Location?
Yes, you can file a lawsuit against Uniqlo or any other clothing store if your injuries were due to negligence or misconduct, either by the store owner or someone working for them. Under California’s law on premises liability, owners are responsible for conditions on their property that have the potential to harm others. Thus, they are responsible for maintaining all indoor and outdoor areas of their property and making sure to clean, make repairs, etc. in a timely manner. At the very least, they must put up signs, safety barriers, and other visible indicators that warn people of a hazard.
Owners of businesses also have a duty to secure the premises, and this can mean different things depending on the type of store, the neighborhood it’s in, and the potential for people to be harmed from incidents like sexual assault and muggings. However, assault and battery can sometimes be caused by people working at the store, and in these instances, you may have grounds to sue Uniqlo under the principle of vicarious liability.
At the end of the day, proving that another party is liable for an accident can be very challenging. In addition, most accident victims are unaware of the full range of payments they can recover from a lawsuit and end up being cheated out of what they deserve. Our goal is to protect you from these mishaps and bring you maximum payment from an accident claim.
How Much can I Receive from a Uniqlo Store Negligence Claim?
Lawsuits for accidents at a clothing store have values that can range from $5,000 to $3,000,000 and above. The amount you are entitled to is based on many factors we can discuss with you during a free consultation, but your injuries will play the biggest role. Average settlements at our law firm start at around $75,000 and go all the way up to $5,000,000 or more, but ultimately, these are estimates and not accurate representations of your own case value. That can only be determined by learning the details of your accident and the harm you’ve suffered.
How Long is the Process to Settle a Store Injury Accident Case?
The length of time to negotiate a settlement may be anywhere between several weeks to 3 or more years. On average, accident claims for injuries at a clothing store can take between 8 to 12 months, though some cases will take over 2 years before the settlement check is issued. Generally, you will find faster resolution times for cases of minor injury versus serious injuries, as insurance companies will fight harder to reduce their client’s liability, therefore, the amount they have to pay you. Getting through this hurdle requires skilled and aggressive representation from a personal injury attorney, which we can provide you with here at Normandie Law Firm.
Time Limit to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit
All legal cases have a deadline, known as the statute of limitations, which is the amount of time you have to file a claim with the appropriate court system. For a slip and fall, assault and battery, or other incidents at a Uniqlo store, you have 2 years to submit an accident claim, starting from the date of the accident. There are very few circumstances that will allow you to file a lawsuit if you miss the deadline of 2 years. This is why it’s important to contact a premises liability lawyer and get the ball rolling on a lawsuit for monetary damages.
