Extra Space Storage Accident Injury Lawyer

Extra Space Storage is a company that specializes in self-storage facilities, like lockers for personal belongings, drive-up units, RV storage, and business storage. The company actually has businesses under the names Life Storage, and Storage Express, and not just Extra Space Storage.

Access to a storage facility is helpful, whether you need a place to keep your boat or a storage locker in between moves. These facilities should be clean and safe with ample security, but sadly, many self-storage places are neglected for long periods of time. Whether it’s slipping on an oil patch on the ground or being assaulted by another customer, there is potential for serious accidents, like:

• Slip and fall due to water and other substances on the ground
• Trip and fall over debris, tools, hand trucks, etc.
• Injured by a falling object
• Assaulted by employee or by another person at the facility (physical and sexual assaults)
• Parking lot accidents – hitting a pedestrian, crashing into another vehicle

While every incident of harm cannot be prevented, most accidents wouldn’t happen if property owners had appropriate cleaning, maintenance, and security standards. But there’s no denying that many locations for self-storage are left in disarray with unsafe conditions that are likely to cause an accident. That’s why our lawyers are here to help if you sustained injuries at an Extra Space Storage, Life Storage, or Storage Express facility.

With decades of experience in personal injury claims, you can count on us to bring you the highest possible settlement. Contact us right away and receive a free, private consultation from an Extra Space Storage accident injury lawyer.

Suing Extra Space Storage for an Accident

Whether you own a business or residential property, owners are legally bound to provide a safe environment for their guests. At places like Extra Storage, most of the people are customers that are renting a storage unit. However, the location may be visited by repair technicians, mail carriers, delivery drivers, and many other people.

No matter who is on the premises, a business must ensure that there are no hazards on the property that can cause harm to others. This is known as premises liability, and it is the foundation of most of the cases we handle. Making sure that a property is secure involve many tasks that have to do with cleaning and repairs. Owners must also install security measures, which is crucial at locations that may be visited late at night. With extra storage, you also have the issue of storage lockers being open while people are inside storing or looking for something. It’s quite easy for a criminal to take advantage of this situation and catch someone in a defenseless position.

Perhaps you fell down at Extra Space Storage from something slippery that was on the floor. Or, you were hurt from tripping over something due to a bulb that had burned out in one of the lights. These are examples of negligence, which makes you eligible for a lawsuit against the business owner.

Average Value of an Extra Space Storage Accident Claim

A lawsuit for being injured at a self-storage facility may be settled for anywhere between $15,000 and $5,000,000. It’s fair to say that settlements in the $5,000,000 range are uncommon, and the majority of lawsuits will settle for under $1,000,000. However, many of the victims we represent receive around $125,000 to $500,000, so that’s still a substantial amount of money that you don’t want to be without. This can go towards your current and future medical bills, income lost from your job, and other financial losses that were caused by someone else’s negligence.

How Much Time will it Take to Settle my Case?

It can take between a few months and 2 or more years to settle a claim for monetary damages with Extra Space Storage. Ideally, we try to secure a settlement award within 6 months, but this may not be possible depending on the extent of your injuries, the company’s unwillingness to admit liability, and other key issues. On average, we would say a store accident injury case takes 8 to 12 months to resolve, unless your case is tried in court. Keep in mind that only a small percentage of lawsuits actually end up in court, but if that were to happen, you are looking at 3 or more years to receive payment for the harm you suffered.

How Long Do I have to File a Lawsuit?

Essentially, you have 2 years to sue the owner of a property where you were injured. This is known as the statute of limitations, and it’s extremely important to file a lawsuit within the 2-year window. If you fail to do so, the courts will invalidate your right to sue Extra Space Storage, even if their conduct was inexcusably negligent.

One exception to this rule has to do with claims for sexual assault, which have a 10-year deadline if you were legally an adult at the time of the incident. If you were a minor (younger than 18), you are allowed up until the age of 40 (22 years from the date of assault) to file a damages claim against Extra Space Storage. There is more information about the statute of limitations for a personal injury claim that may apply to your situation.
