Falling Curtains Injury Attorney

Little thought is given to the act of closing curtains to block out the light or add privacy to a hotel room, AIRBNB location, VRBO, apartment, or rental house. While natural light is a massive bonus in many living spaces, people also appreciate the ability to reduce the light and possible heat by drawing the curtains or closing a window shade. It is an act most take for granted until something goes awry, and they face falling curtains and probably a curtain rod as well.

Unfortunately, most people never give a second thought to the window treatments in their homes or rental properties. They are glad to see quality curtains in a vacation home or rental condo and never think about the hardware that supports this vital feature or how hazardous it could be when falling.

Can I Sue For My Falling Curtain Injuries?
Many falling curtain injury victims are confused about how someone else could be responsible for their injuries. However, after a bit of information and background on premises liability and duty of care, they understand that there could be a resolution to their financial losses and the harm they suffered because of falling curtains.

Premises liability is a section of the law that is in place to protect the safety of guests to a public or private property. These guidelines explain what is legally required of the property owner or their staff to ensure the safety of guests and prevent or eliminate safety hazards. While many people think of the tasks and obligations as common sense, they are legal requirements and should be taken very seriously.

Duty of care goes a step further to define the level of care required to ensure safety on a property. It describes the owner and their staff’s obligation as what the average prudent person would do in a similar situation. For example, if you see litter on a stairway in your home, you pick it up to ensure no one suffers a slip and fall incident. Likewise, if you notice that a curtain is damaged or its hardware is loose and could fall, you repair or replace it to prevent an injury from falling curtains. These are what you assume most people would do to ensure safety at a property and are what is required of property owners and their staff.

Furthermore, if the staff or owner of a property fails to meet the minimum requirements of their legal obligation regarding safety, they can be deemed negligent in their duty of care. Also, if that negligence is found to have caused or contributed to the injury of someone on the property, the owner can be liable for the harm and expenses incurred by the victim due to their injuries.

What Is The Estimated Value Of My Falling Curtains Injury Lawsuit?
