Understanding The Obligation Of Property Owners
Premises liability laws were created to protect the safety of guests on public and private properties. This part of the legal system explains the requirements and standards for building structures and how they must be maintained once the construction is completed. In addition, duty of care goes on to define the level of care that must be provided by a property owner or their staff when a safety issue is found or reported by a guest.

It states that the staff must act in a manner at least equal to what the average prudent person would do if faced with the same or a similar safety concern. For example, if you found damaged flooring in your home, you would repair it immediately to prevent anyone from falling. If the area could not be immediately fixed, you would block the space to divert foot traffic away from the safety concern until it could be corrected. These are what most people consider common sense but they are also what is required under duty of care. The safety issue must be corrected or addressed in a reasonable amount of time.

If the staff at any property fails to take the appropriate action when a safety issue is found and promptly, they can be deemed negligent in their duty of care. In addition, if that negligence is later found to have caused or contributed to an injury incident, the property owner can be held liable for the losses and expenses of the victim due to their injuries. If you feel that negligence played a role in your broken tile accident injuries, please contact Normandie Law Firm today to request a free consultation with a lawyer with decades of experience in handling broken tile injury lawsuits.

The Hazards Of Broken Tiles
As you walk around a shopping mall, grocery store, or office building, you might never notice the color or pattern of the tile covering the floor. However, you are comfortable with the knowledge that the tiles should be installed properly and in good condition thanks to the laws such as premises liability that protect the safety of guests by enforcing regulations about such construction matters. However, not all property owners and their staff follow these guidelines, and it is often an innocent guest who pays the price in the form of a severe injury that could include:

• Broken or fractured bones
• Severe lacerations or puncture wounds
• Damage to internal organs or internal bleeding
• Damage to the connective tissue or joints or a complete joint dislocation
• Soft tissue damage and injuries to nerves
• Back, neck, or spinal cord damage
• Head injuries ranging from a severe concussion or skull fracture to a much more serious traumatic brain injury
• Facial harm to the delicate skin, eyes, ears, nose or mouth

What is most upsetting for many broken tile injury victims is that the property owner or staff could have corrected the issue with little effort or cost in many cases or blocked off the area from foot traffic to prevent what might be a life-altering injury. However, they failed to meet their legal obligation of duty of care, and the victim was left to suffer the consequences. If you suffered a trip and fall or slip and fall due to a broken tile, please get in touch with the legal team with decades of combined expertise4 in handling these cases and securing robust compensation for our clients, Normandie Law Firm.

How Much Is The Average Broken Tile Injury Lawsuit Worth?
It is crucial to understand that there are no predetermined amounts for lawsuits based on the injuries sustained by the victim. So when you reach out to Normandie Law Firm inquiring about the possible value of your case, our experts will need more information to provide you with a realistic answer. However, that can all be provided by you when you attend your free consultation with a broken tile injury attorney at Normandie Law Firm.

During the meeting, they will provide more details on the process, and items called allowable expenses, which are used to determine the value of a lawsuit. Typically, the victim works with their legal team to gather all the documentation for the following items used to calculate the value of their lawsuit:

• All current and estimated future medical expenses related to the injuries caused by the broken tile incident
• The replacement cost of any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the broken tile injury incident
• The legal fees and expenses related to preparing, filing, and litigating the broken tile injury lawsuit
• The victims lost income if their broken tile injuries prevent them from working until they are fully recovered or if they miss work to attend medical appointments related to the broken tile injuries

In cases that include severe harm and lengthy recovery time, it is permitted to seek added compensation for the victim’s pain and suffering. Because these are not documented expenses, your Normandie Law Firm legal team will provide guidance in selecting a reasonable and fair amount. They will base their recommendation on information gathered from recently resolved cases with similar injuries and recovery processes.

How Long Do I Have To File My Broken Tile Injury Lawsuit?
As a victim of a personal injury, you are given two years from the date of the injury incident to file your claim with the court. The only time that varies is if a government entity owns the property where the incident occurred. If the case is against a government agency or entity, such as the city or state, you have only six months from the date of the injury to file your claim with the court. It is also vital to understand that in both situations, minimal exceptions would grant more time to file a claim once the time limit has passed. Typically, if you fail to file the case by the end of the allotted time., you lose the right to seek compensation for your losses from that injury forever. Please reach out to Normandie Law Firm today to discuss the time needed to prepare and file a broken tile injury lawsuit.
