The claimant said she lost her job with tech giant Apple due to the injuries suffered.
She says her mental health deteriorated in the months that followed the incident.
The Judge in the courtroom ruled in favour of the claimant despite Ikea's challenges.
He said that there weren't enough preventative measures in place to stop incidents as such happening.
An assessment of damages will now take place in two weeks time.
