AirBNB Falling Object Injury Lawsuit Attorney

Common Injuries From An AirBNB Falling Object Accident

Sadly, not every AirBNB owner devoted the time and care needed to ensure their property is in good condition and does not represent safety hazards to any guests. However, it is their responsibility to make sure that the space is free of maintenance issues, safety defects, and worn-out items that could fall on you or another guest and cause a severe injury, such as:

• Concussion
• Traumatic Brain Injury
• Skull Fracture
• Brain Bleed
• Neck Or Back Injury
• Facial Injury
• Severe Laceration
• Broken Or Fractured Bones

These injuries are sure to be very painful, and some could be life-altering or even life-threatening. If you suffered any of these injuries due to something falling on you at an AirBNB in California, please get in touch with the AirBNB falling object injury lawsuit attorneys at Normandie Law Firm. Our staff will help you understand how to proceed with a lawsuit to get the full and fair compensation you deserve.

Understanding Premises Liability

Premises liability is a set of guidelines that define the level of care that must be provided for all properties to ensure the safety of guests. The legal term is the duty of care expected to be provided by the property owner. Because there are so many items at a property that require care and maintenance, the scope of the duty of care is broad in some aspects, yet it makes sense when considering the overall safety of a property.

The level of care expected for an entire property is that which any reasonable person would consider prudent. So you can think about how you would safely maintain your home. For example, if you would replace a damaged ceiling fan in your home, you should take the same level of action if there is a damaged ceiling fan in your AirBNB property. If you fail to meet that commonly accepted level of care, you are said to be negligent in your duty of care to the property. And with that negligence comes financial responsibility for any damages caused by failing to meet the basic level of care.

Establishing Negligence

When you meet with a Normandie Law Firm AirBNB falling object injury lawsuit attorney, they will evaluate your matter to determine that the owner of the AirBNB was negligent in the provided to the property. One of the three following criteria needs to be met to establish negligence and the property owner’s financial responsibility for your injuries:

• The owner was aware of the hazard but did nothing to repair it or correct it, and also did not warm guests of the hazard
• The owner was unaware of the safety issue because they failed to make the necessary safety inspections of the property. If they had been visiting the property, they would have noticed the damage, defect, or worn-out item that was unsafe and could have corrected it.
• The owner created the safety issue when they made a poor or improper repair to the item that fell and caused your injuries.

The Normandie Law Firm attorneys have decades of combined experience evaluating personal injury cases involving premises liability to determine the property owner’s negligence. Contact our office today to schedule your free consultation to discuss your case and learn more about moving forward with a lawsuit against the owner of the AirBNB where you were injured.

Gather Essential Information

After seeking medical care for your injuries, you could be ready to pack up and leave the AirBNB where you were injured, even if you had initially planned to stay longer. But before you leave, be sure to gather all the information that will be beneficial if you do move forward with an AirBNB falling object injury lawsuit. The information includes:

• Images of the item that fell on you, causing your injuries
• Pictures of where the item fell from, such as the bare area of the roof if roof tiles or shingles fell on you or the damaged tree where the branch fell from
• Also, document your injuries with pictures and keep all documents from your injury evaluation at the hospital or doctor’s office
• Get written statements from any witnesses to the falling object incident
• Keep all information from the Airbnb owner, such as welcome packets and instructions for your stay at the property

All this information could help determine the negligence of the AirBNB owner and secure the compensation you deserve for your injuries and losses due to the incident. Remember that you might never have access to the property after you leave, so be sure to get the photos you need before leaving.

What Is The Potential Value Of An AirBNB Falling Object Injury Lawsuit?

All lawsuit values are based on actual losses and expenses the victim suffers. In your case, the list of your costs could include the following:

• The total amount of your current medical bills and the estimated amount of any future medical care required by the injuries
• Your lost wages if you are unable to return to work after the injuries and for work missed to attend medical appointments related to the injuries
• Your legal fees for the lawsuit
• Any other losses, such as expenses for airfare changes or other added travel expenses due to your injuries, possibly the cost of the AirBNB rental, or other modifications to your travel plans, such as the loss of pre-purchased event tickets
