Dangerous Conditions at Bed, Bath, and Beyond Can Cause Injury
Business owners and employers are not only required by OSHA to maintain a safe workplace for employees but also for their customers. Failing to create and maintain a safe shopping experience exposes customers to hidden and not so hidden dangers that can cause serious injury and in some cases, even death. These failures of safety by businesses may also make companies liable for damages and injuries that occur on their property.
By law, every premises must be safe from foreseeable hazards and Bed, Bath, and Beyond is no exception to this rule. Due to the layout of the store, the large amounts of inventory, the popularity of sales and promotions, and the variety of conditions that exist outside the store, Bed, Bath and Beyond can potentially be a dangerous place for customers to shop. Some dangers that may exist at a store like Bed, Bath and Beyond include:
- Inventory falling from shelves.
- Spilled liquid soaps, lotions and other slippery substances which could cause a slip and fall.
- Narrow aisleways with boxes and display items may create a tripping hazard.
- Exposed electrical components and cords.
- Sharp products that are dangerous to handle or walk by.
- Leaks in the roof, uneven flooring, and other building maintenance issues.
- Accumulated Ice, snow, or water in parking lots and sidewalks.
In addition, Bed, Bath, and Beyond is also liable for any actions their employees make that cause injury or harm to you or a family member. Bed, Bath and Beyond’s liability may exist whether or not their employee intended to cause harm or not. If you are injured, the company may be required to compensate you for your damages.
Slip and Fall Accidents Can Be More Dangerous Than They First Appear
Falling down can be embarrassing and victims may try to laugh it off and pretend they aren’t hurt. Unfortunately slip and fall accidents can be quite serious and shouldn’t be taken lightly. Common injuries that can result from a fall include but are not limited to:
- Spinal cord injury
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- Fractures of the arm, hand or wrist.
- Broken hip
- Broken or severely bruised tailbone
- Facial Lacerations
- Torn and ruptured ligaments
There are numerous ways you could be affected by an injury suffered at a Bed, Bath, and Beyond. Some injuries are minor and heal quickly, others may impact the quality of your life for years to come. The severity of your injury has long-term implications on your physical, financial, and emotional health.
Some injuries may require you to miss significant days of work, limit whether you can perform the same job at the same level you were before, or may create a situation where you are not able to work at all. The physical limitations caused by the accident may require you to change professions, work limited hours and suffer financial burdens.
In addition to the changes with your job, you may experience cognitive limitations, personality and mood swings, and other behavioral changes that negatively impact the quality of your life.
