Premature Labors due to Other Accidents
Other types of accidents, including workplace accidents, slip and fall accidents, trip and fall accidents, etc. can also contribute to premature labor. If your workplace injury or any other injury caused by falling down, for instance, resulted in premature labor, you could also have the right to sue.
Workplace Accidents
If you suffered a workplace injury, your employer could be liable for the harm that you suffered. Therefore, you could have grounds to sue your employer for the harm that you suffered and any other harm caused by the premature labor (including harm to your child). Typically, injured employees could file workers’ compensation claims but can file civil lawsuits under some circumstances.
Slip and Fall Accidents
If you suffered a slip and fall accident on a property due to slip hazards present throughout the premises, the property owner could be liable for the harm that you suffered. That is, you could have grounds to sue the property owner for the harm that you suffered or the harm that you or your child suffered due to the premature labor.
Trip and Fall Accidents
If you suffered a trip and fall accident on any property due to a trip hazard present in the premises, the property owner could be liable. The property owner could be liable for your trip and fall injuries as well as any injuries that you or your child suffered as a result of the incident or the premature labor. You could definitely sue a property owner after a trip and fall accident.
Regardless of the specific accident that you experienced, it is important that you understand your right to take legal action. If your accident – and ultimately, the premature labor, occurred as a direct result of the negligent actions of another party, you could sue. Do not hesitate to contact the experts at our firm immediately to learn more about your right to file a lawsuit.
