Apple Store Injury Accident Attorney

For many people, Apple is not just a brand or company; it’s way of life. The immense brand loyalty associated with these products is evident in the many Apple stores throughout the world, including 54 locations in California alone. Apple stores are known for their clean, sleek and minimalist design, which would lead you think that the premises are free of hazards that can lead to an accident. However, these locations are no different than any other retailer when it comes to injuries on their property. Visitors at an Apple store may be harmed from the following incidents:

• Slip and fall
• Trip and fall
• Assault and battery, including security guard assault cases
• Falling objects
• Parking lot accidents

Our Recent Verdicts and Settlements

Apple’s Liability for your Injuries

After their accident, most victims are anxious to know, “Can I sue Apple for my injuries if I was injured in one of their stores?” Your right to sue for being injured on someone else’s property is based on the laws of premises liability, which requires owners to ensure that their property is safe for all legitimate guests and visitors. There are many actions that a business can take to accomplish this goal, including regular cleaning and inspections of the premises, fixing or removing hazards, and warning people if there are situations that can’t be resolved right away. Failure to take such measures is known as negligence, and this is the basis of what you will need to prove if you plan on pursuing a personal injury lawsuit.

While the laws generally refer to property owners, a business can be liable for the actions of their employees if it leads to someone being injured at the store. For example, if an Apple Store security guard caused you to be injured by using unreasonable force, Apple may be “vicariously” responsible in a lawsuit, even though they are not the actual perpetrator. Alternatively, you may need to file a lawsuit against a third party company if the security guard is employed by a private firm.

Once you determine that you are eligible for a lawsuit, you will need to figure out the damages you are entitled to, which may include:

• Medical expenses
• Pain and suffering
• Lost wages
• Emotional distress
• Property damage
• Legal fees
• Punitive damages

An experienced store accident attorney will go over each of these damages with you and fight to recover maximum payment for your harm and suffering. To learn more about the legal process during a free one-on-one consultation, contact our office at your earliest convenience.

Value of an Apple Store Accident Lawsuit Settlement

How much your Apple store lawsuit is worth is determined by many factors that have to do with your injuries, as well as the losses stemming from those injuries. However, accidents cases against major retailers often result in high settlements. Many of our clients have received $250,000 to over $1 million for slip and fall or trip and fall injuries. Assault and battery cases tend to be even more valuable, with average settlements falling within the range of $350,000 to over $2 million, based on the degree of injury. However, your own accident will have its own set of economic and emotional losses, which we will need to discuss with you in order to approximate your settlement value.

Free Second Opinion Consultation

Our office is ready to assist you with a second opinion if you have an active case against Apple. It’s natural to have concerns about the legal process or your attorney’s advice. Having your claim reviewed by one of our experts can help put your mind at ease or alert you to situations that can harm your case in the long run. Either way, there’s nothing to lose by taking some to speak with us, since our second opinions are 100% free. Call us today if you have any questions about a pending Apple store accident injury claim.

How long will it take to Settle my Case?

The settlement process for a personal injury claim can last anywhere from 30 days to several years, depending on the necessary legal actions. As a general rule, cases take longer to settle when serious injuries are involved, such as spinal cord damage, brain injury, and loss of function. It’s our goal to bring you a fair settlement within 6 to 8 months of filing the injury claim, but some cases take up to a year and a half to negotiate. If it’s not possible to negotiate a settlement privately with Apple, the next step is to file a lawsuit, which will likely increase your case timeline by one or more years.

How long do I have to File my Lawsuit?

It’s essential to file your lawsuit within the statute of limitations for your type of accident. For a fall-related injury or an assault and battery incident, California law allows you two years to take legal action against the at fault party. This means you must file your lawsuit within two years from the date of the accident or from the date you discover a physical or mental injury from the accident. If you fail to submit an injury claim on time, it will be extremely difficult to pursue a claim for compensation. Contact us right away to get started on an Apple store accident case.
