Can I Sue Desert Hills Premium Outlets?

The right to sue a property owner is based on the concept of premises liability, which holds owners responsible for injuries caused by hazards on their property. This includes unsafe conditions, like ice in the parking lot and water on the floor at a café. Items can also fall off of shelves at many of these stores and hit someone on the head. Sexual assault at outlet mall is another possibility at places like Desert Hills Premium Outlets, especially in public bathrooms and store fitting rooms.

The store is not always responsible for every incident of injury on their property. Essentially, you would need to show that the store failed to take reasonable measures that could have prevented your accident. This is known as “negligence,” and there are many ways that a business owner can be negligent in their duty of care to people on their property.

Failure to keep up with cleaning and repairs is the most common example of negligence at an outlet mall. For example, it’s not unusual to find clothing, accessories, and other items on the floor, which store employees failed to put away. Signs, TV monitors, light fixtures, and other things on the walls may be in danger of falling off, or were not installed correctly to begin with. Public bathrooms may have slippery floors or broken locks on bathroom stalls that can lead to incidents of physical and sexual assault.

The shopping center or store owner can also be liable if conduct by their employees causes harm and suffering to another individual. This is known as vicarious liability, which holds business owners indirectly responsible for an incident on their property. A common example has to do with security guards and loss prevention specialists if they suspect someone of shoplifting. If the security guard uses excessive force and the suspect is injured or killed as a result, the victim may have grounds to file an assault and battery lawsuit against the owner of the store or shopping mall.

To learn more about the concept of liability for an accident, call us to speak with a Desert Hills Premium Outlets injury lawyer. We look forward to educating you on your rights and legal options during a free case review.

What is the Statute of Limitations to Sue Desert Hills Premium Outlets?

Desert Hills Premium Outlets accident lawsuits have a 2-year statute of limitations, except in the case of sexual assault. Basically, most lawsuits involving injuries at the shopping center must be filed no later than two years from the incident date. With sexual assault claims, you have 10 years to file a lawsuit, unless you were under the age of consent (under 18) when you were assaulted. For cases of sexual abuse against a minor, the statute of limitations is 22 years from turning 18 years old, or up until the age of 40.

There are additional factors that may affect the amount of time you have to file an accident claim against Desert Hills Premium Outlets. To verify the statute of limitations that applies to your situation, please contact our law firm.

Case Value of a Desert Hills Premium Outlets Injury Claim

The amount that each victim is entitled to from a lawsuit is unique to their accident, the injuries they’ve suffered, and the defendant’s role in causing or contributing to the accident. Most cases involving slip and fall or trip and fall injuries are settled for around $75,000 to $2,500,000 at our law firm. Assault and battery claims are usually settled for $100,000 to $3,000,000. For incidents of sexual assault, $500,000 to $3,000,000 and above is a reasonable range of settlement values. However, it’s important to note that the value of your case is unique to your own circumstances. That’s why you should speak with a store injury accident attorney right away, who can advise you of the right amount to ask for in a Desert Hills Premium Outlets accident claim.

What is the Estimated Time to Settle these Cases?

The length of time to settle a shopping center accident claim varies considerably from case to case. If we had to narrow down a timeline, 6 to 10 months is a reasonable estimate, based on our many years of experience with shopping mall accident cases. However, some cases may take up to several years due to the need for additional legal actions, like asking for a trial date. This is highly unlikely, as most major retailers want to avoid the expense of taking a case to trial. But reaching a settlement without court intervention can still take one or more years if the case involves severe injuries or sensitive issues, like sexual assault or wrongful death by a mall security guard.
