With the explosion of popularity in yoga and Pilates, Lululemon has become a major force in the retail market, with 655 locations worldwide as of January 2023. The company is known as a retailer of stylish yoga wear, though they also sell a variety of lifestyle apparel and personal care products.
In the U.S., California ranks as the state with the most Lululemon locations, and it’s hard to think of a shopping center or mall without one of these stores. Considering the company’s focus on healthy living, accidents are the last thing you would expect at a Lululemon store. Unfortunately, incidents of shopper slip and falls and trip and falls are very common at clothing stores. Customers may also be injured in assault and battery incidents, including sexual assault, due to lack of security on the premises. Outdoor areas, like the sidewalk and parking lots, can also be the scene of an accident if they are not properly maintained by the store owner.
If you sustained an injury while you were at a Lululemon store in California, you may be eligible for a compensation claim against the store. For more information on your rights as an accident victim, contact our office.
Can I Sue for being Injured at a Lululemon Store?
Yes, you can sue Lululemon for an injury at one of their stores if your accident was caused by a condition that could have been resolved by the store through reasonable means. For example, the store can prevent trip and falls by ensuring that the floor is free of clutter that people can trip over. They can also take security measures, like having someone supervise the fitting rooms to keep customers from being sexually assaulted. The store must also conduct background checks on prospective employees and make sure that they don’t hire someone with a criminal record.
These are examples of a store’s duty of care to the people on their premises. When a store breaches its duty of care, the injured party has the right to file an accident claim and demand payment for their monetary losses. However, the burden of proof is on you, as the victim, to prove that you were injured as a direct result of the company’s negligence. Building a strong case can be very challenging to accomplish on your own, but our legal team is here for you every step of the way.

Compensation from a Clothing Store Accident Injury Case
As someone with the right to seek compensation from Lululemon, here are the damages you may be entitled to:
- Reimbursement for medical expenses
- Future medical costs for permanent injuries
- Loss of income, including future lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Property damage
- Legal fees
- Punitive damages
While we are on the topic of payments from a store injury accident claim, let’s take a look at a couple of related questions that you may have on your mind:
What is the average value of a settlement for an accident at Lululemon?
Each case is unique in the circumstance that will dictate the amount of compensation that can be obtained by the victim. That’s why “average” is not a word we like to use when we are talking about case values. Settlements negotiated on behalf of our clients range from $10,000 to $2,500,000 and above when the defendant is a major retailer like Lululemon. The severity of injury is the most important factor, as it will help us to determine the cost of medical care and lost income, along with non-economic damages, like pain and suffering. But various other factors that are unique to your accident will play a role in your settlement value. With that in mind, we advise that you contact us and speak to a Lululemon store accident injury lawyer if you are interested in learning how much your lawsuit is worth.
How long does it take to reach a settlement with the store?
The case resolution timeline can vary considerably from one case to another. Certain claims are settled within a matter of weeks, while others will take 1 or more years, even if we are able to reach a settlement with the insurance company. In the event it becomes necessary to take your case to trial, it can take up to several years before you receive a jury verdict. Please note, however, that a trial is a rare occurrence, over 95% of lawsuits are settled privately between the two parties. Ultimately, there is no way to predict how long it will take to settle your claim, though we would say that 6 to 10 months is a reasonable timeframe for most of these cases.
Lululemon Workplace Accident Claims
Injuries during work are very common among employees in the retail industry, and Lululemon is no exception to this rule. Some accidents, like slip and falls, are caused by hazardous conditions. But clothing store workers can also develop injuries due to the nature of their job, like muscle and ligament tears and carpal tunnel syndrome.
Fortunately, there is no need to prove that another party was negligent when it comes to a workplace injury. As a general rule, you are entitled to workers’ compensation under California law, as long as the incident occurred within the scope of your job duties. If your claim is approved by your employer’s insurance provider, here are benefits that may be available to you:
- Cost of medical care for your injuries
- Payment for lost wages (temporary disability)
- Permanent disability payments if you have loss of function or other severe injuries
- Job displacement / retraining benefits
- Mileage reimbursement for travel related to your medical care
The key is to report your accident to your employer immediately and follow their instructions to ensure that your claim is filed in a timely manner. If you have questions about the forms or your employer is not cooperating with you to help you obtain workers’ comp benefits, contact us here at our law firm. We have decades of experience in workers’ compensation hearings for California workers who were unjustly denied benefits for a work-related injury. We are more than ready to protect your interests and ensure that you receive every penny you deserve by law.
Statute of Limitations to File a Lawsuit against Lululemon
The statute of limitations refers to the amount of time that plaintiffs have to file a legal action, whether it’s a criminal case or civil lawsuit. For claims of injury at a store, you typically have 2 years to bring a lawsuit against the defendant, except in the case of sexual assault. For sex abuse claims, the deadline for a lawsuit is 10 years if you were at 18 or older when the incident occurred. If you were under 18 years old, you have up to 22 years after turning 18 to seek monetary damages from a lawsuit.
Keep in mind that the statute of limitations is different if you are a worker who was injured on the job at a Lululemon store. From the time you are injured, you have 30 days to notify your employer of the accident. Then, you must ensure that your claim for workers’ compensation is submitted to the insurance company within 1 year from the accident date. Despite these deadlines, it’s essential to inform your employer immediately and complete the claims process in a timely manner. This is the best way to ensure that your medical bills and lost wages are covered without major gaps that can cause you to suffer financially.
This may be a lot to process right now, but don’t worry – our lawyers can help you make sense of it all during a free case review. The important thing is to contact us right away and start the legal process before the statute of limitations runs out on your case.
