Can I Sue an Ikea Store for a Slip and Fall Accident?
Yes, you can sue Ikea stores for a slip and fall accident. Your right to file an Ikea store injury lawsuit is based on the following four elements of negligence:
- A duty of care owed to all store guests
- A breached duty of care (i.e., the failure to identify and address hazards)
- Cause (i.e., the breach of duty caused an incident)
- Harm (i.e., the incident directly resulted in harm to the store guest)
All property owners, including the owners of Ikea stores, have a duty of care towards their guests. They must keep their premises safe of any hazards in order to avoid incidents that could harm their guests. If they fail to keep their premises safe and actually contribute to incidents, they can be liable for the harm that their guests suffered.
What does this mean? This means that you could file an Ikea store injury lawsuit and fight for our right to recover monetary compensation for the harm that you suffered. If you are interested in learning more about your right to file a lawsuit, do not hesitate to contact the experts at our law firm immediately. Our Ikea trip and fall attorneys are ready to help you with your injury claim.
You Could Be Compensated

Certain details like the extent of your injuries, the cost associated with your medical care, and whether you were unable to continue working either temporarily or permanently can affect the value of your slip and fall claim.
Although every slip and fall claim is different, you could be eligible to recover compensation for some of the following:
- Medical expenses
- Lost earnings
- Pain and suffering
- Funeral and burial costs
- Loss of consortium
- Punitive damages
- Legal expenses

The Statute of Limitations
All personal injury claims, including slip and fall claims, are subject to a statute of limitations. A statute of limitations determines the total length of time that claimants have to file their lawsuit. Failing to file on time could result in losing the right to sue. Both Texas and California have a two-year statute of limitations, meaning that claimants only have two years to file their personal injury claims. Of course, certain exceptions to the statute of limitations could apply. For more information about the total time that you have to file your slip and fall claim against Ikea, do not hesitate to contact our experts today.
