IKEA Emeryville Personal Injury Claim 07-18-2006 Furniture structural failure in commercial dining area. Dining area chair failed when a customer sat down, dropping him to the ground on his back, and with his head hitting the base of a neighboring table. The tray he was holding fell to the ground braking his drinking glass. The loud thud shocked patrons and several who were unrelated to the victim ran over to assist. When started inspecting the broken chair, it was clear that the chair had been of a low quality and it failed to stay together when the slightest bit of weight was applied. IKEA staff did not respond until a patron approached the counter requesting a bag to be filled with ice. The chair disappeared almost immediately with a staff member, prompting one couple to suggest photographing the broken chair. The injured victim requested to see the chair, but a manager claimed it was removed for safety reasons. The victim complained about the chairs sudden disappearance, and with the growing audience in the restaurant, the manager returned with the broken chair for just a moment. A cell phone was used to take several photos, then the nervous manager quickly took away the chair for the second time. The manager of loss prevention arrived to take notes, at which time the victim was holding a bag of ice to the back of his head. He provided his business card and said to call him for any questions. The victim of was taken to the UCSF Emergency Room where he spent most of the day and evening. The medical bill was about $3K, and the victim was advised to see a back specialist. The victim attempted to contact the manager on several occasions, but he failed to return the calls. IKEA had totally turned their back on the victim, but still he wanted to avoid taking legal action. After eventually contacting IKEA's corporate headquarters, the victim was promised that an insurance adjuster would contact him, but it never happened. The victim's friends helped him start the website www.IKEA-INJURY.com to protest IKEA's outrageous attitude in refusing to service or replace other dangerous chairs. There may have been numerous accidents, but IKEA's negligence was well documented with photos for well over a year. The store was reported to IKEA's risk management manager, but it took over a year before the chairs were replaced. The victim now has just a few days to protect his rights and file a lawsuit. Those interested in being part of this claim should reply ASAP. We have an overwhelming amount of evidence in our favor. The Risk Management staff has been aware of everything, yet they continue to add insult to injury with their deceptive tricks. IKEA seems to have intentionally mislead the victim into thinking his claim was being handled, and while it wasn't the victim's intent to go to court, Susan Plotts, The head of IKEA Risk Management has stated that the victim should just go ahead and sue IKEA. Photos, videos, and transcripts of IKEA communications will ultimately prove the truth. Also, we have several media contacts who are covering this story, and we intend to launch a press release. IKEA executives and stock holders in every country have been made aware of their crisis. |
